Description

Shengchao Cui led a large team building a self-cleaning road coating in a 2025 paper. The coating blends three light-active materials in a layered structure that keeps excited charges apart longer and narrows the energy gap, so it harvests more visible light. Sprayed on asphalt test plates, it attacks vehicle exhaust gases directly. They measured gas cleanup plus road traits like hardness, grip, and freeze-thaw wear.

Under an hour of natural light, cleanup reached about half for nitrogen oxides and around a fifth for hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Repeat tests held nearly the same levels. All road performance measures met national standards, the team reports.
