Electrospinning Preparation and Photocatalytic Activity of H4SiW12O40/Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer Nanofibrous Membrane†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20180500

Abstract

Abstract:

H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀(SiW₁₂)/ethylene vinyl alcohol(EVOH) copolymer composite nanofibrous membrane was prepared by electrospinning. Characterization with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) indicated that SiW₁₂ was loaded into the EVOH nanofibrous membrane and its Keggin structure remained intact. The as-prepared SiW₁₂/EVOH composite nanofibrous membrane exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methyl orange(MO) under xenon lamp irradiation. The degradation efficiency of MO reached 96.3% as the mass ratio of EVOH to SiW₁₂ was 2:1, which may be attributed to the synergistic effect of EVOH and SiW₁₂. More importantly, the composite nanofibrous membrane presented an excellent reusability. There was no significant decrease of photocatalytic activity of the catalyst after three cycles of reactions, which mainly because the hydrogen bonds between SiW₁₂ and EVOH could enhance the stability of SiW₁₂ in the membrane. In view of this, SiW₁₂/EVOH composite nanofibrous membranes exhibited the potential for practical applications to eliminate organic dyes from wastewater.
