The United Kingdom has developed a groundbreaking type of exterior paint that helps purify the air by breaking down harmful substances. As part of an environmental initiative, this eco-friendly coating will be widely deployed in Italy starting in March. The innovative paint was created by Millennium Chemicals and works by absorbing and decomposing nitrogen oxides—common pollutants found in vehicle emissions and industrial smoke.
At the core of this new coating is a thin layer of titanium dioxide, approximately 30 nanometers thick. When exposed to sunlight, the titanium dioxide absorbs ultraviolet rays, generating an electric charge that oxidizes nitric oxide on its surface, turning it into nitric acid. This acid is either neutralized by calcium carbonate particles embedded in the paint or washed away naturally by rain.
This technology represents a major step forward in using smart materials to improve air quality in urban areas. By integrating such coatings into building exteriors, cities can actively reduce pollution levels and contribute to a healthier environment. The success of this project could pave the way for similar solutions across the globe.
