Abstract

Spin-coated poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane and electrospun PVDF nanofibers were fabricated and surface modified with in-situ self-polymerization of dopamine or surface deposition of polydopamine. The morphology, composition and phase, hydrophilicity and dye degradation effects of these composite were quantitatively investigated. The results indicated that surface modified PVDF membrane and nanofibers exhibited excellent dye degradation capacity. Specifically, in-situ self-polymerization of dopamine could induce homogeneous distribution of polydopamine on the piezo-catalysis materials, providing favorable spatial conditions for the adsorption of dye molecules and enhancing dye degradation.
