Electrospun Polyimide Nanofibers Modified with Metal Oxide Nanowires and MXene for Photocatalytic Water Purification.

ABSTRACT: As the demand for clean water continues to rise, the development of reliable and environmentally sustainable purification methods has become increasingly important. In this study, we describe the production and characterization of electrospun polyimide (PID) nanofibers modified with MXene (Ti₃C₂Tx), tungsten trioxide (WO₃), and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanomaterials for improved photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine 6G (R6G), a model organic dye. Superior photocatalytic performance was achieved by suppressing electron-hole recombination, promoting efficient charge carrier separation, and the significant increase in light absorption through the addition of metal oxide nanowires and MXene to the PID matrix. Comprehensive characterization confirms
