Nano titanium dioxide (TiO2), as a photocatalyst, can be activated by ultraviolet irradiation and then form a strong REDOX potential on the surface of the nano TiO2 particles. The REDOX potential can degrade the automobile exhaust, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). In this paper, a photocatalytic environmentally friendly pervious concrete (PEFPC) was manufactured by spraying nano TiO2 on the surface of it and the photocatalytic performance of PEFPC was researched. The nano TiO2 particle size, TiO2 dosage, TiO2 spraying amount, and dispersant dosage were selected as factors to investigate the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of automobile exhaust by PEFPC. Moreover, the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) was used to evaluate the distribution of nano TiO2 on the surface of the pervious concrete, the distribution area of nano TiO2 was obtained through Image-Pro Plus, and the area ratio of nano TiO2 to the surface of the pervious concrete was calculated. The results showed that the recommended nano TiO2 particle size is 25 nm. The optimum TiO2 dosage was 10% and the optimum dispersant dosage was 5.0%. The photocatalytic performance of PEFPC was best when the TiO2 spraying amount was 333.3 g\/m2. The change in the photocatalytic ratio of HC and NOx is consistent with the distribution area of nano TiO2 on the surface of the pervious concrete. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of PEFPC under two light sources (ultraviolet light and sunlight) was compared. The results indicated that both light sources were able to stimulate the photocatalytic performance of PEFPC. The research provided a reference for the evaluation of automobile exhaust removal performance of PEFPC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano10102088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]],"date-time":"2020-10-21T10:14:22Z","timestamp":1603275262000},"page":"2088","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Automobile Exhaust Removal Performance of Pervious Concrete with Nano TiO2 under Photocatalysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8763-9437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guobao","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Roads and Railway Engineering Safety Control (Shijiazhuang Tiedao University), Ministry of Education, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanbing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1298-0208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiang","family":"Lyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation, Jilin University, Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apcatb.2017.08.019","article-title":"Promotional role of Mn doping on catalytic oxidation of VOCs over mesoporous TiO2 under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation","volume":"220","author":"Shu","year":"2018","journal-title":"Appl.
