摘要: Abstract Fe/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) have held great promise for treating trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated groundwater, without the accumulation of chlorinated intermediates. However, conventionally used colloidal NPs usually aggregate rapidly, resulting in a reduced reactivity. To reduce particle aggregation, we employed electrospun polyacrylic acid (PAA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer nanofibers as nanoreactor to immobilize NPs. In study, water-stable PAA/PVA nanofibrous mats were complexed with Fe (III) ions via binding free carboxyl groups PAA subsequent formation and immobilization zero-valent iron (ZVI) then formed by partial reduction Pd(II) ZVI The containing diameter 2.8 nm characterized scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, transmission thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. NP-containing exhibited higher reactivity than that or dechlorination (TCE), which was model contaminant. With high surface area volume ratio, porosity, reusability fibrous immobilized NPs, composite should be amenable applications remediation various environmental contaminants.
