Among the different photocatalytic solutions available on the market, i.active® cements by Italcementi Group are the most common raw materials currently utilized for the manufacturing of building products possessing an added value in terms of sustainability and durability. One of the main purposes for their use is to reduce pollution, in order to improve the air quality in urban environments. Another environmental advantage in their use is in terms of mitigation of urban heat island effects. Currently, photocatalyctic cements are commercially available in Europe, North America, North Africa and India. Several million square meters of photocatalytic cement-based surfaces, have already been applied, and this number is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. In this framework, photocatalytic cementitious roads and pavements represent the widest application for the improvement of air quality in urban environment. This paper gives an overview of the product performances to help engineers to choose and design sustainable and durable paved surfaces that typically represent from 30% to 60% of developed urban areas.

... This focus resulted in significant growth in the research of construction materials containing photocatalysts to reduce environmental pollution [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. So far, various classes of pavement materials functionalized with photocatalytic nanoparticles have been developed and tested on both laboratory and pilot scales [9][10][11][12][13]. Both indoor and outdoor building environments are exposed to chemical contamination from internal sources (furniture, paint, heaters, appliances, etc.) and external sources (traffic and industry), resulting in the presence of various pollutants (VOC, NO x , SO x , formaldehyde, PMs, CO, etc.) [14][15][16][17]. ...
