In this work, a visible-light-driven BiOCl/Bi2WO6 photocatalyst was obtained via a facile hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet/visible light diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV/Vis), and photocurrent (PC). BiOCl/Bi2WO6 was modified with (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride to obtain the cationized BiOCl/Bi2WO6. Cotton fabric was pretreated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium chloroacetate solution to obtain carboxymethylated cotton fabric, which was further reacted with cationized BiOCl/Bi2WO6 to achieve finished cotton fabric. The cotton fabrics were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), XRD, SEM, and EDS. The photocatalytic activity of the BiOCl/Bi2WO6 photocatalyst and cotton fabrics was assessed by photocatalytic degradation of MB (methylene blue) solution under simulated visible light. The self-cleaning property of cotton fabrics was evaluated by removing MB solution and red-wine stains. Results revealed that the coated cotton fabrics exhibited appreciable photocatalytic and self-cleaning performance. In addition, anti-UV studies showed that the finished cotton fabrics had remarkable UV blocking properties in the UVA and UVB regions. Therefore, the finished cotton fabric with BiOCl/Bi2WO6 can provide a framework for the development of multifunctional textiles.

Abstract Multifunctional materials for water purification have attracted great attention due to the increased water pollution problems. However, fabricating the low-cost and recyclable separation material is still a challenge. Herein, we developed an Ag/TiO2@PDMS coated cotton fabric with self-clean ability, high flux, superior visible-light photocatalysts ability, and recyclability via the “powder + glue” strategy. The composites exhibit superhydrophobic (water contact angle 157°), and high separation efficiency. The separation efficiency of 20 times of repeated use remains 16322 Lm−2h−1 and the degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) remains almost no change. The high oil purification, catalytic property, excellent stability in harsh condition and recyclability enables the material as a satisfactory candidate for water purification.
