Investigating the Electrocatalytic properties of ZnO-Based composite membrane for dye removal.

ABSTRACT: A composite membrane based on zinc oxide (ZnO) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is proposed to enhance the dye removal efficiency of materials in wastewater treatment. Firstly, this study introduces the structure and properties of zinc oxide, which serve as the basis for fabricating the ZnO-PAN composite membrane. Secondly, ZnO powder is prepared via hydrothermal reaction and furnace cooling. Moreover, spinning solutions with different mass fractions are prepared by dissolving PAN powder in N, N-dimethylformamide, and PAN nanofiber films are obtained through heating and stirring. Subsequently, the composite membrane's electrochemical performance, electrocatalytic performance, and dye removal capability are thoroughly investigated through experiments to validate its potential for improving water
