Ag3VO4 nanoparticles loaded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were synthesized by an easily controlled, template-free method as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue and antibacterial activities. The structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties were studied by the state-of-art techniques. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) was investigated under UV irradiation and it showed about 99% degradation of the dye within 75 min. Furthermore, the antibacterial performance of the as-synthesized Ag3VO4/PAN composite nanofibers was experimentally verified by the destruction of Escherichia coli (E. coli). These results suggest that the developed inexpensive and functional nanomaterials can serve as a non-precious catalyst for environmental applications. |
