Preparation of site-specific Z-scheme g-C3N4/PAN/PANILaFeO3 cable nanofiber membranes by coaxial electrospinning : Enhancing filtration and photocatalysis performance

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

The coaxial electrospinning method for preparation of g-C3N4/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/polyaniline (PANI)LaFeO3 cable fiber membrane (PC@PL) was designed for adsorption-filtration-photodegradation of pollutants. A series of characterization results show that LaFeO3 and g-C3N4 nanoparticles (NPs) are respectively loaded in the inner and outer layers of PAN/PANI composite fibers to construct the site-specific Z-type heterojunction system with spatially separated morphologies. The PANI in cable not only possesses abundant exposed amino/imino functional groups for adsorption of contaminant molecules but also due to the excellent electrical conductivity works as a redox medium for collecting and consuming the electrons and holes from LaFeO3 and g-C3N4, which can efficiently promote photo-generated charge carriers separation and improve the catalytic performance. Further investigations demonstrate that as a photo-Fenton catalyst LaFeO3 in PC@PL catalyzes/activates the H2O2 generated in situ by LaFeO3/g-C3N4, further enhancing the decontamination efficiency of the PC@PL. The porous, hydrophilic, antifouling, flexible and reusable properties of the PC@PL membrane significantly enhance the mass transfer efficiency of reactants by filtration effect and increase the amount of dissolved oxygen, thus producing massive •OH for degradation of pollutants, which maintains the water flux (1184 L m-2. h-1 (LMH)) and the rejection rate (98.5%). Profiting from its unique synergistic effect of adsorption, photo-Fenton and filtration, PC@PL exhibits wonderful self-cleaning performance and distinguished removal rate for methylene blue (97.0%), methyl violet (94.3%), ciprofloxacin (87.6%) and acetamiprid (88.9%) within 75 min, disinfection (100% Escherichia coli (E. coli) and 80% Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) inactivation)) and excellent cycle stability.
