摘要
A hierarchically‐structured nylon 6 (PA6) nanofiber membrane decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was fabricated by electrospinning and impregnation methods. The as‐fabricated hierarchically‐structured Ag/PA6 nanofiber membrane (HS‐Ag/PA6 NM) exhibits a morphology in which Ag NPs are deposited on the surfaces of both thick fibers and thin fibers. The content and size of theAg NPs can be controlled by varying the concentration of the silver colloid solution. Compared with the non‐hierarchically‐structured Ag/PA6 nanofiber membrane, HS‐Ag/PA6 NM has a higher specificsurface area and exhibits a higher degradation rate for methylene blue of 81.8%–98.1% within2 h. HS‐Ag/PA6 NM can be easily recycled and exhibits good reusability. It retains a degradation rate for methylene blue of 83.5% after five consecutive cycles. The hierarchically‐structured nanofiber membrane is therefore a potential nanocatalyst.
随着工业的进步,废水处理特别是印染废水的处理成为亟待解决的问题.银纳米粒子因其特殊的物理化学性能而表现出催化活性,但银纳米粒子的团聚限制了其使用,所以出现了一系列新的载体材料,如微球、薄膜和纤维等.其中电纺纳米纤维由于具有高比表面积,作为载体材料具有非常大的优势,而将常规电纺纳米纤维作为载体也已有报道.但是,将具有更高比表面积的电纺纳米纤维作为载体,特别是一种类似于树枝状结构的多尺度纳米纤维作为载体还鲜有报道.本文制备了一种多尺度结构的PA6纳米纤维膜,该纳米纤维膜由直径为50-120 nm的主纤维和10-50 nm的分支纤维构成;由于分支纤维的出现,多尺度结构纳米纤维膜的比表面积得到了提高,可以为银纳米粒子的负载提供更多附着位点.制备的多尺度结构纳米纤维膜通过银胶溶液浸渍成功地负载银纳米粒子,对制备的纳米纤维膜的形态、化学结构以及对亚甲基蓝的催化性能进行了探讨.SEM,EDS和TEM结果表明,银纳米粒子成功地负载在多尺度结构纳米纤维的表面,并且银纳米粒子的粒径以及负载量可以通过变换银胶溶液的浓度合理调控.此外,与常规PA6纳米纤维膜相比,多尺度结构纳米纤维膜更有利于银纳米粒子的分散,同样通过银胶溶液A浸渍,负载在多尺度结构纳米纤维上银纳米粒子粒径为8.6 nm,而负载在普通PA6纳米纤维上银纳米粒子粒径为11.2 nm.XPS分析表明,银纳米粒子成功地负载到多尺度结构纳米纤维上,并且经不同银胶溶液处理,纳米纤维膜的载银量不同.通过O的高能XPS分析发现,银纳米粒子与PA6分子间形成了配位键,这在一定程度上有利于Ag纳米粒子的固定,阻止了Ag纳米粒子的团聚.Ag/PA6纳米纤维膜以及多尺度结构Ag/PA6纳米纤维膜催化降解实验表明,多尺度结构Ag/PA6纳米纤维膜具有较高的催化活性,反应2 h后对10 mg/L亚�
