Fabrication of composite nanofiber membrane and photocatalytic degradation of dyes
Source abstract
Abstract
PMMA/TiO2 and PMMA/MMT/TiO2 composite nanofiber membranes were fabricated through electrospinning and sol-gel coating.photocatalytic properties of different samples were analyzed through the degradation of methylene blue under UV-light irradiation.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR)were employed to investigate the difference between the samples before and after photocatalytic reaction in fiber morphology and molecular structure as well as chemical compositions of the nanofiber membranes.The study has revealed that PMMA/MMT/TiO2 composite nanofiber membranes exhibited the best photocatalytic degradation of dyes;and the addition of MMT not only improved the adsorption property of the nanofiber membrane but also prevented the TiO2 membrane from cracking.
