Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Environmental Engineering

Background:

  • Particulate matter (PM) poses significant health risks.
  • Existing air filters face challenges in preparation, performance, and comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, hierarchically structured air filter membrane using a simple fabrication method.
  • To enhance filtration efficiency, antibacterial properties, and wearability for effective air filtering.

Main Methods:

  • A jet-splitting electrospinning strategy was employed to fabricate a hierarchical PLA membrane.
  • Cationic antibacterial surfactant was incorporated into the PLA solution to control jet splitting.
  • Simultaneous formation of nanofibers, submicron-fibers, and beads created a multi-scale filtration network.

Main Results:

  • The hierarchical filter achieved 99.979% filtration efficiency and a high quality factor (0.45 Pa⁻¹) for PM$_{0.3}$ with a low pressure drop (18.7 Pa).
  • The filter demonstrated excellent stability under various conditions, including cyclic tests, long-term use, high humidity, and PM$_{2.5}$ smoke exposure.
  • The material exhibited remarkable antibacterial performance and rapid heat dissipation properties.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hierarchically structured PLA membrane offers a simple, effective solution for air filtration.
  • The novel fabrication method yields a filter with superior filtration, antibacterial, and thermal properties.
  • This technology promises comfortable and efficient air purification, addressing limitations of current filters.
