TiO2 nanostructured coated functionally modified and composite electrospun chitosan nanofibers membrane for efficient photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant in wastewater

In this study, we prepared chitosan (Cs_P) nanofibers (NFs) membrane by electrospinning. The Cs_P NFs membrane was then chemically functionalized (CsF) by a novel stepwise chemical process. The CsF NFs membrane was electrospray with TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to prepare the CsF_Coa NFs membrane. A sec...
