Abstract
In order to reduce the possible harm caused by air pollution, excellent personal protective materials are attracting more and more attention. Therefore, the research of multifunctional materials that can filter particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) simultaneously is of great significance. In addition, in cold weather, water vapor in the exhaled gas condenses into small droplets inside the respirator causing uncomfortable feeling of dampness. Herein, we prepared several types of cyclodextrin-containing Janus nanofibrous porous membranes by electrospinning, which can efficiently filter PM of different sizes in the air, effectively adsorb VOCs, and orientate moisture from exhaled gas to the outside of the membranes to provide a dry and comfortable environment. These advantageous features, combined with the cheap price and easy availability of component materials and low respiratory resistance, highlight the great potential of these Janus nanofibrous porous membranes in the development of personal wearable air purifiers.
