Photocatalytic pervious concrete systems: from classic photocatalysis to luminescent photocatalysis
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Urban environmental pollution, stormwater runoff, and the urban heat island effect are challenges that are increasingly faced by cities. The impermeability of traditional concrete and its inability to effectively address pollution exacerbate these issues. Photocatalytic pervious concrete combines permeability with photocatalytic functionality to enable pollutant degradation while managing rainwater, thus providing a sustainable solution. In this paper, the research progress on photocatalytic pervious concrete is reviewed, with a focus on the mechanisms and limitations, including poor visible-light response and low stability, of classic photocatalysts such as TiO 2 , ZnO, and g-C 3 N 4 . The synergistic effects of adsorption and photocatalysis are explored, as well as the use of composite materials like carbon-based compounds and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to enhance performance. Long-afterglow phosphors can extend photocatalytic activity beyond sunlight exposure, but challenges remain in terms of stability and cost-effectiveness. Despite progress, issues such as photocatalyst agglomeration, structural trade-offs, and durability still hinder large-scale applications. Future research should focus on visible-light responsive materials, optimized phosphors, self-healing technologies, and intelligent monitoring systems to improve durability.
