The ridge-like PVDF/CQDs-TiO 2 @CQDs hybrid piezo-photocatalytic film was fabricated via an " in situ hydrothermal-vapor induction" method, in which the S-scheme TiO 2 @CQDs heterostructures were grown in situ and uniformly immobilization onto the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film surface through Ti-F coordination bonds. The effects of hybrid film morphology, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) doping, and flow rate on piezo-photocatalytic degradation performance were investigated. The ridge-like microstructure increased the exposure of adsorption and catalytic active sites. The film reactor driven by the flow of dye solution and light illumination promoted the adsorption of pollutants while establishing a dual built-in electric field (IEF) between the piezoelectric PVDF and catalysts, TiO 2 and CQDs, which accelerated photogenerated charge transfer and separation. Finally, a dynamic piezo-photocatalytic process was realized for the efficient and synergistic degradation of RhB. The reaction rate constant ( ks ) of the dynamic piezo-photocatalytic degradation was about 2.3 times that of the static photocatalytic process. Structural optimization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of Rhodamine B (RhB) molecules were performed using Gaussian software. The degradation products, degradation pathways, and degradation mechanisms of RhB were thoroughly studied by combining the results of total organic carbon (TOC), DFT and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

This study investigates the combustion characteristics of reactive aluminium alloys in combination with fluoropolymer oxidizers. Aluminium-magnesium (Al-Mg) and aluminium-titanium (Al-Ti) alloys were selected as metallic fuels, while polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was employed as the oxidizer. Composite samples were prepared using two methods: electrostatic spraying (ES) and physical mixing (PM). The ES method yielded samples with a PVDF-coated structure, whereas the PM method produced simple mixtures. The samples and their combustion products were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), combustion experiments, and thermal analysis. The results indicate that compared to the PM samples, the ES-coated samples exhibited more effective dispersion of metallic particles, reduced particle agglomeration, increased combustion heat release temperature, decreased maximum flame area and height, and mitigated or eliminated explosive or micro-explosive phenomena during combustion, thereby achieving stable combustion. Additionally, the ES samples demonstrated a significant reduction in the particle size of condensed-phase products after combustion, alleviated sintering and agglomeration, decreased the formation of metal oxides, and minimized residual metallic fuel, allowing for the full release of combustion heat. Thermal analysis revealed that the coating structure of the ES samples lowered the activation energy for the reaction between the metallic fuel and PVDF, thereby enhancing the chemical reactivity.

The uniform and stable deposition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) onto membranes without compromising their performance presents a significant challenge. This study reports the fabrication of a photocatalytic self-cleaning membrane using hydrothermal and photochemical substitution methods. These methods enabled the uniform and stable deposition of β-FeOOH nanorods, m-MIL-100(Fe), and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) not only on the members surface but also throughout the interior of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane pores. The synergistic effect of these materials and their uniform and stable distribution within the PVDF membrane resulted in superior photocatalytic efficacy. The membrane's excellent photocatalytic performance facilitated the degradation of most pollutants, ensuring prolonged usage. Unlike other photocatalytic membranes requiring additional cocatalysts, our membrane degraded over 90% of various dyes without H 2 O 2 , demonstrating a greener usage mode and higher photocatalytic efficiency. The valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) of β-FeOOH nanorods and m-MIL-100(Fe) were calculated, confirming the existence of a type-II heterojunction for the first time. Free radical trapping experiments identified hydroxyl radicals (·OH) as the primary reactive species in the degradation process. This research provides a novel approach to uniformly and stably load MOFs on membranes, enhancing their properties and offering insights into fabricating multifunctional photocatalytic membranes.

Applying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) monolith for phosphates removal can improve the operability of the adsorption process compared with some other powder nanomaterials. However, as the commonly used synthesis strategy, non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) was deemed not environmentally friendly enough since the dissolution of PVDF often involved volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This article designed a salt sacrificial template method to fabricate a 3D porous PVDF monolith, and then in-situ growth of lamellar La(OH) 3 on the PVDF foam was realized to enhance the adsorption affinity to phosphates pollution. No VOCs were used or released during the whole synthesis process. The adsorption for phosphates was as high as 56.2 mg g −1 , and easy reusability of the novel PVDF monolith was realized. In addition, this PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam exhibited good adsorption properties in both oil and water environments, which implied it could not only adsorb phosphates in actual water samples but also separate oil contaminants from water. All these implied that this PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam could be a potential candidate for large-scale industrial adsorption and separation of phosphates. This PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam could be a potential candidate for large-scale industrial adsorption and separation of phosphates.
