Abstract

Asynchronized surface modification method based on coaxial electrospinning was developed to fabricate high-efficiency photodegradative nanofiber for water purification. TiO2 nanoparticles assembled uniformly on the surface of polycaprolactone(PCL) nanofibers to form composite nanofibers through one step process. The maximal content of Ti element was 25.6%(mass fraction) in the PCL/TiO2 composite nanofibrous membrane, which exhibited hydrophilicity and excellent photodegradation under visible light in water. The Rhodamine B dye degraded 96.17% in 120 min under visible light by the PCL/TiO2 composite membrane. The adsorption behavior fitted Langmuir model well and indicated chemical related adsorption. This PCL/TiO2 composite nanofibrous membrane has super degradation properties and displays great application potential to environmental protection.
