Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rise of nanotechnology led a new trend in science, engineering and materials science in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, focusing on the control of material structure and properties at the nanoscale, and it also provided an opportunity for the research of polymer nanomembranes. Polymer nanomembranes can play a role in sensors, optics, electronic devices, protective clothing, biomedicine, energy and the environment. Especially in the field of biomedicine and personal protection, the application of polymer nanomembranes has gradually increased, including drug delivery, biosensing, medical device coating, protective clothing, etc., providing new possibilities for biomedical research and applications.

The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials is aimed at introducing the latest technologies in polymer nanofilms. The research into polymer nanomembranes covers the design and synthesis of new materials, the innovation of nanomembrane preparation technology, the optimization of multi-functional properties, biomedical applications, environmental and energy applications, and the bionic design of nanomembranes. Therefore, polymer nanomembrane research not only focuses on basic scientific principles, but also focuses on applications to solve practical problems and promote technological progress. In the present Special Issue, we have invited contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of giving a balanced view of the current state of the art in this discipline.

In this study, a Ti3C2 MXene@g-C3N4 composite powder (TM-CN) was prepared by the ultrasonic self-assembly method and then loaded onto a carbon nanofiber membrane by the self-assembly properties of MXene for the treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater. The characterization of the TM-CN and the C-TM-CN was conducted via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) to ascertain the successful modification. The organic dye degradation experiments demonstrated that introducing an appropriate amount of Ti3C2 MXene resulted in the complete degradation of RhB within 60 min, three times the photocatalytic efficiency of a pure g-C3N4. The C-TM-CN exhibited the stable and outstanding photocatalytic degradation of the RhB solution over a wide range of pH values, indicating the characteristics of the photodegradation of organic pollutants in a wide range of aqueous environments. Furthermore, the results of the cyclic degradation experiments demonstrated that the C-TM-CN composite film maintained a degradation efficiency of over 85% after five cycles, thereby confirming a notable improvement in its cyclic stability. Consequently, the C-TM-CN composite film exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance and is readily recyclable, making it an auspicious eco-friendly material in water environment remediation.
