摘要

Endocrine disrupters such as bisphenol A (BPA) are environmental pollutants that interfere with the body's endocrine system because of their structural similarity to natural and synthetic hormones. Due to their strong oxidizing potential to decompose such organic pollutants, colloidal metal oxide photocatalysts have attracted increasing attention for water detoxification. However, achieving both long-term physical stability and high efficiency simultaneously with such photocatalytic systems poses many challenges. Here a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition approach is reported for immobilizing TiO_2 nanoparticles (NPs) on a porous support while maintaining a high catalytic efficiency for photochemical decomposition of BPA. Anatase TiO_2 NPs ≈7nm in diameter self-assemble in consecutive layers with positively charged polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes on a high surface area, porous electrospun polymer fiber mesh. The TiO_2 LbL nanofibers decompose approximately 2.2 mg BPA per mg of TiO_2 in 40 h of illumination (AM 1.5G illumination), maintaining first-order kinetics with a rate constant (k) of 0.15 h~(-1) for over 40 h. Although the colloidal TiO_2 NPs initially show significantly higher photocatalytic activity (k≈0.84 h~(-1)), the rate constant drops to k≈0.07 h~(-1) after 4h of operation, seemingly due to particle agglomeration. In the BPA solution treated with the multilayered TiO_2 nanofibers for 40 h, the estrogenic activity, based on human breast cancer cell proliferation, is significantly lower than that in the BPA solution treated with colloidal TiO_2 NPs under the same conditions. This study demonstrates that water-based, electrostatic LbL deposition effectively immobilizes and stabilizes TiO_2 NPs on electrospun polymer nanofibers for efficient extended photochemical water remediation.
