In situ sulfuration synthesis of flexible PAN-CuS "flowering branch" heterostructures as recyclable catalysts for dye degradation.

ABSTRACT: "Flowering branch"-like PAN-CuS hierarchical heterostructures were in situ synthesized through a facile hydrothermal sulfuration growth process on PAN-based fibers prepared by electrospinning. The PAN fibers can serve as a stable flexible support, while CuS flowers assembled from nanosheets can act as reactive materials, showing high performance in the degradation of dyes. Moreover, these heterostructures can be recovered easily without a decrease in their photocatalytic activity, thus showing favorable recycling capability.
