The cellulose acetate nanofibers containing Ag ions [CA(as-spun)] were fabricated by electrospinning a CA solution with 0-5wt% AgNO3. The CA(as-spun) was UV-irradiated to produce CA nanofibers containing Ag ions/nanopaticles (NPs) [CA(UV)], and the CA(UV) was deacetylated to cellulose nanofibers with Ag NPs [CA(UV+DA)]. When the CA(UV) was deacetylated with KOH/ethanol solution, the number and size of the Ag NPs were further increased. During the deacetylation reaction, residual Ag(+) ions in the CA(UV) seemed to be reduced by hydroxide anions in KOH/ethanol solution and Ag NPs seemed to be diffused and aggregated further in the cellulose nanofibers. The catalytic activity of cellulose-based nanofibers with different Ag contents or phases was investigated using a reduction of methylene blue (MB) as a model reaction. From a model reaction, Ag ions played an important role as a reducing catalyst of MB.
通过静电纺丝含0 - 5wt%硝酸银的醋酸纤维素(CA)溶液制备了含银离子的醋酸纤维素纳米纤维[CA(初纺态)]。对CA(初纺态)进行紫外线照射以制备含银离子/纳米颗粒(NPs)的CA纳米纤维[CA(紫外线照射)],并将CA(紫外线照射)脱乙酰化得到含银纳米颗粒的纤维素纳米纤维[CA(紫外线照射+脱乙酰化)]。当用氢氧化钾/乙醇溶液对CA(紫外线照射)进行脱乙酰化时,银纳米颗粒的数量和尺寸进一步增加。在脱乙酰化反应过程中,CA(紫外线照射)中残留的银离子似乎被氢氧化钾/乙醇溶液中的氢氧根阴离子还原,并且银纳米颗粒似乎在纤维素纳米纤维中进一步扩散和聚集。以亚甲基蓝(MB)还原反应为模型反应,研究了不同银含量或相态的纤维素基纳米纤维的催化活性。从模型反应可知,银离子作为MB的还原催化剂发挥了重要作用。
