Abstract
In this study, TiO 2/ PAN -based fibers were prepared by electrospinning a composite solution containing both the desirable contents of TiO 2 and a 10 wt. % PAN polymer solution dissolved in N , N -dimethylformamide. The TiO 2 loaded electrospun PAN nanofibers were then carbonized at 1000 °C in N 2 atmosphere furnace after stabilization at 230 °C in air. Then CNF / TiO 2 nanofibers were oxidized at 450 °C in air. The morphology and structure of the TiO 2-embeded carbon nanofibers were investigated by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Specific surface area was determined using BET equation from N 2 adsorption analysis. Photocatalytic tests were conducted in a UV illuminated set-up specialized for the filters using ethanol vapor. The results have shown that ethanol vapor was efficiently degraded on TiO 2/ CNF composite nanofiber mat under UV illumination. The aim of this study was to further investigate the feasibility of TiO 2/ ACF for practical indoor air purification.
