Abstract
Electret fiber-based air filtration materials find extensive applications in various fields, including particulate matter filtration, indoor purification, and epidemic prevention. However, achieving high-efficiency filtration with low resistance and long-term stability remains a challenge. In this study, we present a novel approach to fabricate sheath-core bicomponent spunbond filters (BCSFs) doped with polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticles (PNPs) using bicomponent spunbond, through-air bonding, and corona charging techniques. This strategy enables the filtration material to possess low air resistance, long-term stable filtration efficiency, and a high dust holding capacity. The resulting BCSFs-PNPs exhibit remarkable filtration performance, with a filtration efficiency of 99.25% and a dust holding capacity of up to 11.48 g m−2, while maintaining a pressure drop as low as 37.87 Pa. Notably, the filtration efficiency of BCSFs-PNPs only experienced a slight decrease of 3.58% over a period of 180 days, demonstrating excellent long-term stability. The successful preparation of BCSFs-PNPs using corona charging technology holds great promise and offers valuable insight for the design and application of advanced air filtration materials.
