Flexible PTh/GQDs/TiO₂ composite with superior visible-light photocatalytic properties for rapid degradation pollutants.

ABSTRACT: Flexible fiber membranes for pollutant removal have received increasing attention due to their high adsorption performance and easy recycling characteristics. However, due to the lack of environmentally friendly regeneration, some adsorption membranes have low regeneration efficiency, especially in terms of chemical adsorption, so they lack reusability. This study prepares a series of conducting polymer [PAn (polyaniline) or PPy (polypyrrole) or PTh (polythiophene)] graphene quantum dots (GQDs, the size of GQDs is about 20 nm)/TiO₂ ternary fiber membranes via a facile electrospinning method with chemical deposition. Remarkably, this creates an anatase TiO₂ and π-conjugated system. The combination is beneficial to the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollut
