BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I)/WO3/Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibrous Membranes for Diagnostic X-Ray Shielding and Visible-Light Photocatalysis

“…85-0863) could be found (Figure c). These results evidenced that BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I)/WO 3 composites were successfully prepared on the surface of PAN nanofibers, which are consistent with the literature. − …”

“…The nanostructured heterojunction embedded on the surface of flexible polymeric nanofibers ensured the complete-cycle-available characteristic of the as-prepared materials, that is to say, the nanofibrous membrane with X-ray shielding property could be used as a photocatalyst after the service life of the materials in personal protective garments against diagnostic X-ray. In this work, we developed such an idea to construct the BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I)/WO 3 heterojunction on the surface of flexible polymeric nanofibers through a simple solvothermal and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process, as reported in the literature. − BiOX successfully transferred the spectral utilization range of the heterojunction to the visible region, and the SILAR process simplified the preparation conditions of materials and ensures high- Z element loadings. The as-prepared BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I)/WO 3 /PAN nanofibrous membranes could serve as excellent lightweight fillers in X-ray shielding protective garments, and they could be easily recycled and utilized as visible-light catalysts for the treatment of cationic organic pollutants in wastewater after their service life.…”
