Multifunctional nanofibers for particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal from the indoor atmospheric environment were manufactured from eco-friendly natural cellulose materials via electrospinning using an optimized solvent system containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAC) and dimethylformide (DMF) in a 3:7 volume ratio. EmimAC improved the cellulose stability, whereas DMF improved the electrospinnability of the material. Various cellulose nanofibers were manufactured using this mixed solvent system and characterized according to the cellulose type, such as hardwood pulp, softwood pulp, and cellulose powder, and cellulose content ranging from 6.0-6.5 wt%. The correlation between the precursor solution alignment and electrospinning properties indicated an optimal cellulose content of 6.3 wt% for all cellulose types. The hardwood pulp-based nanofibers possessed the highest specific surface area and exhibited high efficiency for eliminating both PM and VOCs, with a PM adsorption efficiency of 97.38%, PM quality factor of 0.28, and toluene adsorption of 18.4 mg/g. This study will contribute to the development of next-generation eco-friendly multifunctional air filters for indoor clean-air environments.
通过静电纺丝,使用含有体积比为3:7的1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑醋酸盐(EmimAC)和二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)的优化溶剂体系,由环保型天然纤维素材料制备了用于从室内大气环境中去除颗粒物(PM)和挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的多功能纳米纤维。EmimAC提高了纤维素的稳定性,而DMF提高了材料的可静电纺丝性。使用这种混合溶剂体系制备了各种纤维素纳米纤维,并根据纤维素类型(如硬木浆、软木浆和纤维素粉末)以及纤维素含量在6.0-6.5 wt%范围内进行了表征。前驱体溶液排列与静电纺丝性能之间的相关性表明,所有纤维素类型的最佳纤维素含量为6.3 wt%。基于硬木浆的纳米纤维具有最高的比表面积,对PM和VOCs的去除效率都很高,PM吸附效率为97.38%,PM品质因数为0.28,甲苯吸附量为18.4 mg/g。这项研究将有助于开发用于室内清洁空气环境的下一代环保型多功能空气过滤器。
