GelMA hydrogels reinforced by PCL@GelMA nanofibers and bioactive glass induce bone regeneration in critical size cranial defects.

The process of bone healing is complex and involves the participation of osteogenic stem cells, extracellular matrix, and angiogenesis. The advancement of bone regeneration materials provides a promising opportunity to tackle bone defects. This study introduces a composite hydrogel that can be injected and cured using UV light. Hydrogels comprise bioactive glass (BG) and PCL@GelMA coaxial nanofibers. The addition of BG and PCL@GelMA coaxial nanofibers improves the hydrogel's mechanical capabilities (353.22 ± 36.13kPa) and stability while decreasing its swelling (258.78 ± 17.56%) and hydration (72.07 ± 1.44%) characteristics. This hydrogel composite demonstrates exceptional biocompatibility and angiogenesis, enhances osteogenic development in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and dramatically increases the expression of critical osteogenic markers such as ALP, RUNX2, and OPN. The composite hydrogel significantly improves bone regeneration (25.08 ± 1.08%) in non-healing calvaria defects and promotes the increased expression of both osteogenic marker (OPN) and angiogenic marker (CD31) in vivo. The expression of OPN and CD31 in the composite hydrogel was up to 5 and 1.87 times higher than that of the control group at 12 weeks. We successfully prepared a novel injectable composite hydrogel, and the design of the composite hydrogels shows significant potential for enhancing biocompatibility, angiogenesis, and improving osteogenic and angiogenic marker expression, and has a beneficial effect on producing an optimal microenvironment that promotes bone repair.

A separable double-layer self-pumping dressing containing astragaloside for promoting wound healing

Some skin wounds often have many exudate. Ordinary single layer electrospunning nanofiber wound dressings often don't have enough capacity to absorb them. Therefore, a separable double layer electrospunning nanofiber dressing was developed in this work. The dressing had a separable feature that allowed the upper layer to be separated and removed after it had absorbed a significant amount of wound exudate. This dressing consisted of an upper layer of super hydrophilic sodium polyacrylate nanofibers and a bottom layer of 3D-structure coaxial nanofibers with encapsulated Astragaloside (AS). The results showed that nanofibers had better morphology. The water absorption rate, water vapor transmission rate and free radical scavenging rate of the double-layer dressings were 1461.71 ± 39.72 %, 1193.63 ± 134 g·m−2·day−1, and 63.35 ± 3.65 %, respectively. The double-layer nanofiber dressing achieved 65.69 ± 2.62 % and 75.10 ± 6.26 % inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. The double-layer dressing had proliferative, migratory, and adhesive effects on L929 fibroblasts. And the double-layer dressing resulted in a 96.78 ± 1.0 % wound healing rate in rats after giving a 14 days treatment. Therefore, the 3D-structure separable double-layer wound dressing designed and prepared in this study was effective in promoting wound healing.

Preparation and Characterization of Zein-Metformin/Gelatin Nanofibers by Coaxial Electrospinning.

Metformin is a drug commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, it has been associated with damaging side effects when used over a long period of time. A potential solution to this problem is the implementation of a prolonged-release system for metformin, which would enhance the efficiency of the doses administered to patients. To achieve this, it is necessary to use materials compatible with humans. Electrospinning is an efficient technique that can be employed for this purpose, utilizing solvents that are safe for human use. Therefore, the objective of this study was to prepare and characterize a system for the prolonged release of metformin from zein and gelatin through coaxial electrospinning as well as to investigate its in vitro release. Metformin-loaded zein/gelatin coaxial nanofibers were prepared using the coaxial electrospinning technique and then characterized by morphological, structural, and thermal analysis. Morphologically, metformin-loaded zein/gelatin coaxial nanofibers were obtained with an average diameter of 322.6 ± 44.5 nm and a smooth surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed band shifts at a higher wavenumber due to drug-protein interactions by hydrogen bonding between N-H and C=O groups. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggested a possible interaction between materials due to an increase in the degradation temperatures of zein and gelatin when metformin was included. The transition of the crystallinity of metformin to the amorphous form was also confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Coaxial nanofibers exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 66% and a profile release that showed an initial release of metformin (40%) in the first hour, followed by a gradual release until it reached equilibrium at 60 h and a cumulative release of 97% of metformin. It was concluded that using the coaxial electrospinning technique, it is possible to obtain nanofibers from polymeric solutions of zein and gelatin to encapsulate metformin, with a potential application as a prolonged-release system.

Coaxial electrospun nanofiber accelerates infected wound healing via engineered probiotic biofilm

Bacterial infection is the primary cause of delayed wound healing. Infected wounds suffer from a series of harmful factors in the harsh wound microenvironment (WME), greatly damaging their potential for tissue regeneration. Herein, a novel probiotic biofilm-based antibacterial strategy is proposed through experimentation. Firstly, a series of coaxial polycaprolactone (PCL) / silk fibroin (SF) nanofiber films (termed as PSN-n, n = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, respectively) are prepared by coaxial electrospinning and their physiochemical properties are comprehensively characterized. Afterward, the PSN-1.5 is selected and co-cultured with L. paracasei to allow the formation of probiotic biofilm. The probiotic biofilm-loaded PSN-1.5 nanofiber film (termed as PSNL-1.5) exhibits relatively good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and enhanced pro-regenerative capability by immunoregulation of M2 macrophage. A wound healing assay is performed using an S. aureus-infected skin defect model. The application effect of PSNL-1.5 is significantly better than that of a commercial nano‑silver burn & scald dressing (Anson®), revealing huge potential for clinical translation. This study is of significant novelty in demonstrating the antibacterial and pro-regenerative abilities of probiotic biofilms. The product of this study will be extensively used for treating infected wounds or other wounds.

Multifunctional Bioactivity Electrospinning Nanofibers Encapsulating Emodin Provides a Potential Postoperative Management Strategy for Skin Cancer.

Skin cancer is threatening more and more people's health; its postoperative recurrence and wound infection are still critical challenges. Therefore, specialty wound dressings with multifunctional bioactivity are urgently desired. Emodin is a natural anthraquinone compound that has anti-cancer and anti-bacterial properties. Herein, we fabricated coaxial electrospinning nanofibers loaded with emodin to exploit a multifunctional wound dressing for skin cancer postoperative management, which encapsulated emodin in a polyvinylpyrrolidone core layer, combined with chitosan-polycaprolactone as a shell layer. The nanofibers were characterized via morphology, physicochemical nature, drug load efficiency, pH-dependent drug release profiles, and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, the anti-cancer and anti-bacterial effects were evaluated in vitro. The emodin-loaded nanofibers exhibited smooth surfaces with a relatively uniform diameter distribution and a clear shell-core structure; remarkably, emodin was evenly dispersed in the nanofibers with significantly enhanced dissolution of emodin. Furthermore, they not only display good wettability, high emodin entrapment efficiency, and biphasic release profile but also present superior biocompatibility and anti-cancer properties by increasing the levels of MDA and ROS in A-375 and HSC-1 cells via apoptosis-related pathway, and long-term anti-bacterial effects in a dose-independent manner. The findings indicate that the emodin-loaded nanofiber wound dressing can provide a potential treatment strategy for skin cancer postoperative management.

Development of anti-corrosion coating with sandwich-like microvascular network for realization of self-healing and self-reporting properties based on coaxial electrospinning

Biomimetic microvascular networks prepared by coaxial electrospinning technology have attracted much attention as a novel form of carrier for encapsulating active substances. However, the poor interfacial bonding strength between traditional electrospinning materials and metal substrates limits its application in anti-corrosion coatings. Herein, a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) grafted phytic acid (PVA-PA) electrospinning solution was synthesized. And a sandwich-like microvascular network (SMN) was prepared by coaxial electrospinning technology, which used PVA-PA solution as the shell material, epoxy resin 51 (E51), tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and polyamide resin as the core materials, respectively. Owing to the high porosity of SMN, epoxy resin can be directly spin-coated on it to form a composite coating (PVA-PA/SMN/EP). It is proved that due to the strong chelation and coordination interaction between PA and mild steel, the pull-out adhesion of the PVA-PA/SMN/EP composite coatings on mild steel was increased by 0.92 MPa. In addition, by systematically optimizing the relative viscosity, miscibility, conductivity, and saturated vapor pressure between the two jets of the core solution and the shell solution in coaxial electrospinning, the microvascular structure of the coaxial electrospinning nanofibers was improved and the fluidity of the internal active substances was maintained. When the PVA-PA/SMN/EP composite coating generates microcracks, the active substances encapsulated in the SMN flow out, in which the three-dimensional crosslinked network formed by the curing of E51 and polyamide resin enhances the spatial interactions between TPE molecules, which results in TPE emitting a bright blue fluorescence. This work provides a new approach for the development of the next generation of smart anti-corrosion coatings.

Cancer Treatment Using Nanofibers: A Review.

Currently, the number of patients with cancer is expanding consistently because of a low quality of life. For this reason, the therapies used to treat cancer have received a lot of consideration from specialists. Numerous anticancer medications have been utilized to treat patients with cancer. However, the immediate utilization of anticancer medicines leads to unpleasant side effects for patients and there are many restrictions to applying these treatments. A number of polymers like cellulose, chitosan, Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), peptides and Poly (hydroxy alkanoate) have good properties for the treatment of cancer, but the nanofibers-based target and controlled drug delivery system produced by the co-axial electrospinning technique have extraordinary properties like favorable mechanical characteristics, an excellent release profile, a high surface area, and a high sponginess and are harmless, bio-renewable, biofriendly, highly degradable, and can be produced very conveniently on an industrial scale. Thus, nanofibers produced through coaxial electrospinning can be designed to target specific cancer cells or tissues. By modifying the composition and properties of the nanofibers, researchers can control the release kinetics of the therapeutic agent and enhance its accumulation at the tumor site while minimizing systemic toxicity. The core-shell structure of coaxial electrospun nanofibers allows for a controlled and sustained release of therapeutic agents over time. This controlled release profile can improve the efficacy of cancer treatment by maintaining therapeutic drug concentrations within the tumor microenvironment for an extended period.

ZnO/NiO coaxial heterojunction nanofibers with oxygen vacancies for efficient photocatalytic Congo red degradation and hydrogen peroxide production

Vacancy engineering is a highly efficient approach to enhancing photocatalytic activity. This research presents an innovative development of ZnO/NiO coaxial heterojunction nanofibers (ZN1/1) and ZnO/NiO coaxial heterojunction nanofibers with engineered oxygen vacancies (OVs-ZN1/1) via electrospinning and annealing. Detailed characterization of the nanofiber microstructure was conducted using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The OVs-ZN1/1 nanofibers demonstrated outstanding and unprecedented photocatalytic performance, achieving a 99 % degradation rate of Congo red dye (CR) under simulated solar light in just 45 min, with a good degradation coefficient of 0.091 min−1. Remarkably, the nanofibers’ photocatalytic activity remained a high level even after five cycles. Moreover, the photocatalytic H2O2 yield of OVs-ZN1/1 increased 20 times as much as that of ZN1/1. Experiments and mechanism analysis indicate that oxygen vacancy, as the electron trapping site of photoexcitation, accelerates the charge separation and transfer at the interface, thus promoting the adsorption and activation of target molecules. This study highlights the novel and superior performance of photochemical catalysts achieved through the strategic incorporation of oxygen vacancies and heterojunctions.

Therapeutic Efficacy of an Erythromycin-Loaded Coaxial Nanofiber Coating in a Rat Model of S. aureus-Induced Periprosthetic Joint Infection.

Implant surface nanofiber (NF) coatings represent an alternative way to prevent/treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) via local drug release. We developed and characterized a coaxial erythromycin (EM)-doped PLGA/PCL-PVA NF coating. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of EM-NF coatings (EM0, no EM, EM100 (100 mg/mL), and EM1000 (1000 mg/mL) wt/wt) in a rat PJI model. A strong bond of the EM-NF coating to the surface of titanium (Ti) pins was confirmed by in vitro mechanical testing. Micro-computed tomography (mCT) analysis showed that both EM100 and EM1000 NF effectively reduced periprosthetic osteolysis compared to EM0 at 8 and 16 weeks after implantation. Histology showed that EM100 and EM1000 coatings effectively controlled infection and enhanced periprosthetic new bone formation. The bone implant contact (BIC) of EM100 (35.08%) was higher than negative controls and EM0 (3.43% and 0%, respectively). The bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) of EM100 (0.63 mm2) was greater than controls and EM0 (0.390 mm2 and 0.0 mm2, respectively). The BAFO of EM100 was higher than that of EM1000 (0.3 mm2). These findings may provide a basis for a new implant surface fabrication strategy aimed at reducing the risks of defective osseointegration and PJI.

Fabrication and characterization of multi-layered coaxial agar-based electrospun biocomposite mat, novel replacement for transdermal patches

In the performed study, a novel fabrication of agar-based nanofibers was electrospun in an asymmetric bilayer dressing for biomedical transdermal patches. The optimal parameters for the fabrication of agar-based nanofibers after optimization were a feed rate of 10 μL/min, a 7 cm collector-to-nozzle distance, a 15 kV applied voltage, and a 700-rpm rotating collector speed. Coaxial nanofibers, as a second asymmetric layer, were produced using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with cephalexin hydrate, an antibacterial drug, as the core and agar-PCL as the sheath. The morphology of the developed uniaxial and coaxial nanofibrous layers was analysed using a scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. For the formation of bilayer asymmetric structures, the agar-PCL uniaxial layer was fabricated over the layer of coaxial PVA and agar-PCL layers for sustained drug release. The agar-based nanofibrous mats exhibited tensile strength of 7 MPa with 40 % elongation failure, 8-fold increased swelling, enhanced wettability (60° contact angle), and a moisture transmission rate of 2174 g/m2/day. The developed coaxial bilayer mats exhibited antimicrobial activity, hemocompatibility, and cytocompatibility. Overall, this novel agar nanofibrous dressing offers promising potential for advanced biomedical applications, particularly as transdermal patches for efficient drug delivery systems.

Self-supporting honeycomb coaxial carbon fibers: A new strategy to achieve an efficient hydrogen evolution reaction both in base and acid media

The electrocatalytic reaction mainly occurs on the surface of the electrocatalyst, while the active substances inside the electrocatalyst do not participate in the catalytic reaction. Therefore, core layer electrocatalysts with coaxial structures face lower utilization rates and a significant decrease in the number of exposed active sites, which in turn affects the electrocatalytic activity. Here, a novel one-dimensional (1D) honeycomb coaxial carbon nanofibers with MoC shell and Ni core layer (denoted as [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-PCNFs) have been successfully prepared by pyrolysis of coaxial precursors fibers of [Ni(acac)2/PAN/PS]@[MoO2(acac)2/PAN]. The core layer of [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-PCNFs) has a multi-channel honeycomb-like structure due to the pyrolysis of PS. The specific surface area of [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-PCNFs (143.1 m2g−1) is more than twice that of the coaxial fibers with solid core structures (denoted as [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-CNFs, 60.2 m2g−1). Simultaneously, the heterostructure formed between MoC and Ni, allowing for the adjustment of the electronic structure, acceleration of electron transfer and optimization of the electrocatalytic HER performance. The optimized self-supporting [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-PCNFs exhibit the best catalytic activity for HER in both alkaline and acidic solutions, requiring only 84 and 160 mV to drive a current density of 10 mA cm−2. In addition, [Ni/C]@[MoC/C]-PCNFs catalyst exhibits good stability in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. This core layer multi-channel coaxial structure designing provides an effective strategy for improving the electrocatalytic performance of catalysts.

Coaxial electrospun PVA-SAP functional nanofibers embedded with betel leaf extract for enhanced germicidal activity and breathability

This study investigates the formation of coaxial electrospun nanofibrous membrane with enhanced germicidal activity and breathability using superabsorbent polymer and polyvinyl alcohol integrated with betel leaf extract and its utilization for developing performance textiles. The functional nanofibrous membrane was fabricated through the coaxial electrospinning technique and characterized for the intended applications. The morphological investigation of the developed nano-membrane using scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of regular nanofibers with diameters ranging from 154 to 200 nm. The FTIR spectra suggested the existence of functional compounds in the nanofibers from their characteristic peaks. The presence of the bioactive compounds in the ethanolic extract of betel leaf was explored using phytochemical screening. The analysis of antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E.coli using the agar disc diffusion method showed an enhanced zone of inhibition with a maximum dimension of 27 mm and 24 mm against S. aureus and E.coli, respectively. The developed coaxial nanofibrous membranes also demonstrated acceptable particle barrier performance with greater than 95 % efficiency and a superior tensile strength of 99.5 N. Besides, the improved moisture management and air permeability of coaxial nano-membranes embedded with betel leaf extracts suggested an easy transfer of fluid and moisture vapor from the body to the environment via the membrane. Hence, the improved germicidal activity with acceptable particle filtration efficiency and enhanced breathability of the developed coaxial electrospun nano-membranes indicated their potentiality of utilizing them in designing performance textiles with simultaneous barrier performance and breathability for comfort.

Nigella sativa Embedded Co-axial Electrospun PVA–Collagen Composite Nanofibrous Membrane for Biomedical Applications

Mitigating health issues utilizing medicinal plants is an ancient practice that has surged in recent times due to the advent of sophisticated technology. Plant extracts incorporated in electrospun nanofibers having biocompatibility and germicidal activity are, therefore, become a competitive choice for biomedical applications. In this study, a novel co-axial electrospun nanofibrous mat with enhanced antimicrobial performance was successfully developed using poly (vinyl alcohol) in the core and collagen– Nigella sativa in the sheath. The structural analysis of the developed nanofibrous mat through a scanning electron microscope revealed the formation of nanofibers with diameters varying from 205 to 250 nm randomly oriented in the membrane. The FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the existence of poly(vinyl alcohol), collagen, and nigella extract in the nanofibrous mat from their respective characteristic peaks. The bactericidal assay against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria through the agar diffusion method demonstrated an improved antibacterial performance with a higher zone of inhibition (17 and 37 mm) of the coaxial electrospun nanofibers with the increased amount of nigella extract. The moisture management profile indicated an adequate interaction between nanofibers and moisture/liquid, transferring the fluids through the membrane satisfactorily. The formation of such electrospun nanofibers will pave the way for selecting electrospinning techniques for appropriate designing and fabricating nanofibrous materials with enhanced functional properties for biomedical applications.

THE EFFECT OF ESSENTIAL OIL ON FIBER MORPHOLOGY AND SURFACE PROPERTIES IN COAXIAL NANOFIBERS

In this study, core-shell nanofibers were produced by using hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer in the core and hydrophobic poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) polymer in the shell. Essential oil added nanofiber structures were developed by adding thyme oil (TEO) and borage oil (BO) in the PVP core part by using Triton X 100 (TX-100) as the surfactant. 8% PVP-8% PCL nanofibers were produced by adding TEO, BO and a 1:1 volume/volume mixture of these two (TEO:BO) to the PVP solution. Addition of essential oil and surfactant to the solutions resulted in different conductivity and viscosity values. SEM images were analyzed and it was observed that nanofiber diameters increased when essential oil and surfactant were added to the core of the coaxial nanofibers. Pristine, TEO-added, TEO:BO added and BO-added nanofibers were calculated as 145 ± 66, 233 ± 150, 245 ± 165 and 300 ± 124 nm, respectively. Besides, water contact angle measurements showed that TX-100 and essential oil additives caused high hydrophilization of nanofiber by changing the hydrophobic nature of PCL. While the contact angle of the 8% PVP-8% PCL sample without additives were 98°, the contact angle of the oil and surfactant containing samples were measured as 0°. In conclusion, it was observed that the nanofiber morphology and surface properties changed when different essential oils and surfactant were added to the core-shell nanofibers.

Silver Nanoparticles In Situ Synthesized and Incorporated in Uniaxial and Core-Shell Electrospun Nanofibers to Inhibit Coronavirus.

In the present study, we sought to develop materials applicable to personal and collective protection equipment to mitigate SARS-CoV-2. For this purpose, AgNPs were synthesized and stabilized into electrospinning nanofiber matrices (NMs) consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), chitosan (CHT), and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL). Uniaxial nanofibers of PVA and PVA/CHT were developed, as well as coaxial nanofibers of PCL[PVA/CHT], in which the PCL works as a shell and the blend as a core. A crucial aspect of the present study is the in situ synthesis of AgNPs using PVA as a reducing and stabilizing agent. This process presents few steps, no additional toxic reducing agents, and avoids the postloading of drugs or the posttreatment of NM use. In general, the in situ synthesized AgNPs had an average size of 11.6 nm, and the incorporated nanofibers had a diameter in the range of 300 nm, with high uniformity and low polydispersity. The NM's spectroscopic, thermal, and mechanical properties were appropriate for the intended application. Uniaxial (PVA/AgNPs and PVA/CHT/AgNPs) and coaxial (PCL[PVA/CHT/AgNPs]) NMs presented virucidal activity (log's reduction ≥ 5) against mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-3) genus Betacoronavirus strains. In addition to that, the NMs did not present cytotoxicity against fibroblast cells (L929 ATCC® CCL-1TM lineage).

Optimizing mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in core‐shell nanofiber epoxy self‐healing coatings: Impact of shell material variation

AbstractShell materials play significant impact on corrosion resistance and mechanical properties on self‐healing coating of composite with core‐shell nanofiber. In this paper, three promising shell materials were investigated to optimize the performance of self‐healing coating. Self‐healing core‐shell nanofibers with different shell materials were prepared with coaxial electrospinning. The resulting nanofibers were used to prepare self‐healing corrosion resistance coating. The tensile test revealed a notable enhancement in the tensile strength of PA6 core‐shell nanofiber epoxy composite coatings compared with the epoxy coating, demonstrating increase of 26.92%. Friction and wear test indicated reductions in the friction coefficients of PAN, PVDF, and PA6 core‐shell nanofibers by 13.82%, 12.44%, and 26.27%, respectively. The self‐healing and anti‐corrosion abilities were evaluated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test. All three coatings exhibited exceptional self‐healing efficiencies exceeding 90%, highlighting the substantial potential of the chosen shell materials as nanocontainers for self‐healing agent. Results indicate that the nanofibers with PA6 as shell material can achieve the best enhancement performance, which has a greater potential for the corrosion protection and long‐lasting use of offshore wind turbine tower coatings.Highlights Optimizing coating performance by screening coaxial nanofibers for shell materials Shell material can improve the tensile strength of coating up to 26.92% Friction coefficient of PA6 nanofiber coating was about 15% lower than PAN and PVDF All three coatings exhibited exceptional self‐healing efficiencies exceeding 90%

Efficient piezophotocatalysis of ZnO@PVDF coaxial nanofibers modified with BiVO4 and Ag for the simultaneous generation of H2O2 and removal of pefloxacin and Cr(VI) in water

Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are important oxidants widely used in biological and environmental fields. Piezophotocatalysis opens a new route for generating ROSs and overcoming rapid charge recombination. Here, ROSs (H2O2, •O2–, •OH) were generated on ZnO@PVDF coaxial nanofibers modified with BiVO4 and Ag (Ag/BiVO4: 2 % ZnO@PVDF Coaxial Nanofibers Membrane named as ABZCNM) by piezophotocatalysis. The H2O2 production of ABZCNM was approximately 147.7 μM within 90 min. In addition, the effects of H2O2 on pefloxacin and Cr(VI) during the degradation process were investigated. A Janus heterojunction constructed with coaxial nanofibers (i.e., a confined structure) facilitates the separation of charge carriers, thus boosting piezophotocatalytic efficiency. The coaxial nanofiber exhibits excellent mechanical properties and cyclability. The piezophotocatalytic performance enhanced by the Janus heterojunction was demonstrated by COMSOL simulation and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, which reveals the relationship between structure and efficiency. This work provides novel insights into the piezophotocatalytic mechanism and H2O2 generation for pollutant removal.
