Abstract

Recently, electrospun nanofibers have gained attention because they are capable to capture PM2.5 and air pollutants. In this work, we developed bio-based air filters, which called cellulose@ZIFs, by dip-coating electrospun cellulose nanofibers with three synthesized zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), coding as, ZIF-8, ZIF-67 and Zn/Co-ZIF. It was found that all cellulose@ZIFs improved PM2.5 filtration perfomance. Among of these, cellulose@ZIF-8 exhibited the best PM2.5 removal efficiency (97.7 %) with the highest quality factor. In addition, a double-layer of cellulose@ZIF-8 showed an enhanced efficiency to 99.07 %. Considering the high performance, green and low-cost fabrication, the cellulose@ZIF-8 is a promising air filter for PM2.5 capture.
