This report presents synthesis of well-dispersed Ag3VO4 nanoparticles@polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers by an easily controlled, template-free method as a photo-catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue. Their structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties have been studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with rapid energy dispersive analysis of X-ray, and photoluminescence. The characterization procedures revealed that the obtained material is PAN nanofibers decorated by Ag3VO4 nanoparticles. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue investigated in an aqueous solution under irradiation showed 99% degradation of the dye within 75 min. These results suggest that the developed inexpensive and functional nanomaterials can serve as a non-precious catalyst for environmental applications. |
