Abstract
Ag3PO4/PAN composite nanofibers have been fabricated by simple and low cost electrospinning technique followed by surface modification of PAN nanofibers with amidoxime ([sbnd]C(CN2)[dbnd]NOH) groups to utilize as anchoring sites for Ag+ ions through coordinate bonding. Subsequently, the coordinated Ag+ ions were allowed to react with PO43− ions in order to form Ag3PO4/PAN composite nanofibers. Thus obtained composites were characterized by FESEM, XRD, TEM, FTIR, XPS and UV–vis. Experimental results revealed that composite nanofibers prepared by reacting ([sbnd]C(CN2)[dbnd]NOH) functionalized PAN nanofibers with 0.02 M solutions of AgNO3 and Na2HPO4 have higher efficiency towards the photodegradation and bactericidal activities under visible light.
