“…[1][2][3][4] Nanomaterials have enhanced physico-chemical properties related to their high surface areas, and their applicability in multiple fields is boosted by the possibility of surface functionalization and combination with bulk materials in hybrid systems. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Over the past decades, these advantageous characteristics have driven the progressive employment of nanoscale systems even in Cultural Heritage (CH) preservation, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] a strong interdisciplinary field where materials science merges with industry, social science and humanities. 22,23 Movable and immovable works of art, along with natural and urban landscapes, are crucial socioeconomic resources, provided that they are preserved against damage caused by environmental and anthropic factors.…”

“…Great interest has been directed in recent years towards the study and use of miniinvasive, efficient and environmentally friendly methods for cleaning surfaces [41][42][43][44][45][46]. Among the innovative cleaning methods of architectural elements, the use of photocatalysis has been largely investigated [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], with the most used photocatalyst being based on titanium oxide (TiO 2 ).…”

Self-cleaning and hydrophobic treatments based on TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles are widely applied for the preservation of cultural heritage materials, to improve their resilience in polluted environments. Excellent results have been obtained on stone materials, but experiments on painted stone surfaces, such as wall paintings and polychrome plasters used in historic buildings, are still limited. In this work, we present a study on the use of water dispersions of TiO2 nanoparticles obtained via sol-gel and organically modified silica (OrMoSil) for cleaning and protective purposes on Lecce stone, a carbonate stone, widely used for its excellent workability but easily attacked by atmospheric agents and pollutants. First, we evaluated the harmlessness of the treatment on Lecce stone through colorimetric tests, water absorption by capillarity and permeability to water vapor. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanoparticles was assessed by photo-degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue dyes. The dispersion was then applied on painted samples prepared according to ancient recipes to confirm the effectiveness of the cleaning. The proposed TiO2/OrMoSil-based coating can act as a self-cleaning and protective treatment on lithic surfaces to prevent degradation phenomena and preserve the original appearance of the monument.

Cultural heritage faces recurring degradation processes and natural aging phenomena, demanding the envisioning of innovative preservation solutions inspired by cutting‐edge scientific research. Over extended time frames, current preservation strategies often prove inadequate in preserving the different constituent materials of cultural assets, which are thus threatened by their inherent fragility and by the complex interactions with the surrounding environment. The distinctive properties of graphene and graphene‐related materials (GRMs) now offer unexplored opportunities in the field of cultural heritage, addressing various forms of deterioration phenomena. This work critically analyzes early‐stage literature on the use of graphene and GRMs. Strengths, weaknesses, and limitations in anti‐corrosion, anti‐fading, and consolidation properties of graphene and GRMs are thoroughly investigated, along with their possible applications in smart sensors to monitor the state of health of endangered artifacts. The aim is to elucidate how specific characteristics of graphene and GRMs can be applied to the conservation, diagnostics, and monitoring of artistic and archaeological assets. Future perspectives in the design of stable, long‐lasting, and compatible graphene‐based solutions for cultural heritage protection are highlighted, providing a detailed discussion on potentials and pitfalls.
