These nanoparticles were distributed throughout the bulk of the finishing render, instead of as a thin coating, thus ensuring the durability of the photocatalytic properties upon superficial damage. The physical properties of these renders were not affected by the addition of nanoparticles except in the case of surface area, which increased significantly. In terms of their photocatalytic activity, these novel lime renders were shown to degrade up to 12% NOx under UV light and up to 11% formaldehyde under visible light.engAttribution 4.0 Internationaljournal article10.3390/catal11030296open accessPhotocatalyticTiO2 nanoparticlesUV and visible lightLime renderAir purificationNOxFormaldehyde2073-4344
