摘要:The present work explores the applications of titanium dioxide and photocatalysis to produce self-cleaningcement. In the present study, self-cleaning cement was prepared using titanium dioxide and white cement. To enhancethe performance, titanium dioxide was also doped with Ag, and further used for preparation of self-cleaning cement.The doped titanium dioxide was characterized using XRD and TEM. The surface of prepared cement samples wereanalyzed using SEM. The self-cleaning ability of the prepared cement samples were evaluated in a photocatalyticactivity test under sun-light as well as artificial UV-light. It has been observed that prepared cement samples are able toclean their surfaces.
