Abstract
The development of ecofriendly poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) is of important significance to settle down the rapidly rising airborne PM crisis and plastic pollutions, but suffering from the bottlenecks in terms of the relatively low surface activity, poor electret properties and fiber refinement. This work unraveled an effective approach for MOF functionalization and nanopore creation at PLA nanofibers by the modified electrospinning–electrospray technique, combined with electro-induced stereocomplexation (EIS) principles to enhance surface activity, electroactivity, and electret properties of PLA NFMs. The proposed PLA NFMs presented superior PM0.3 capturing efficiency (95.91 % at 30 % RH, 88.01 % at 90 % RH), humidity resistance and breathability (40.3 Pa at 32 L/min). Benefiting from the triboelectric nanogenerator mechanisms, the PLA NFMs enabled long-term efficient filtration and permitted multifunctional applications like passive respiratory monitoring and voice recognition, appealing for human-machine interactions while providing efficient healthcare.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) serves as a platform for the dissemination of original and innovative research focusing on the advancement of environmentally-friendly, sustainable technologies. JECE emphasizes the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular economy and a self-sufficient bio-based economy. Topics covered include soil, water, wastewater, and air decontamination; pollution monitoring, prevention, and control; advanced analytics, sensors, impact and risk assessment methodologies in environmental chemical engineering; resource recovery (water, nutrients, materials, energy); industrial ecology; valorization of waste streams; waste management (including e-waste); climate-water-energy-food nexus; novel materials for environmental, chemical, and energy applications; sustainability and environmental safety; water digitalization, water data science, and machine learning; process integration and intensification; recent developments in green chemistry for synthesis, catalysis, and energy; and original research on contaminants of emerging concern, persistent chemicals, and priority substances, including microplastics, nanoplastics, nanomaterials, micropollutants, antimicrobial resistance genes, and emerging pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) of environmental significance.
