Polyvinyl alcohol（PVA）/ [La（NO3）3＋Ni（CH3COO）2] composite nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning, and polycrystalline LaNiO3 nanofibers were prepared by calcination of the PVA/[La（NO3）3＋Ni（CH3COO）2] composite nanofibers at 6000C for 10 h. The samples were characterized by using thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis （TG-DTA）, X-ray diffraction spectrometry（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry （FTIR）. The results showed that PVA/[La（NO3）3＋ Ni（CH3COO）2] composite nanofibers were amorphous in structure, and pure phase LaNiO3 nanofibers were trigonal with space group R3m. The surface of as-prepared composite nanofibers was smooth, and the diameter was about 200 nm. The diameter of LaNiO3 nanofibers was smaller than that of the relevant composite fibers. The surface of the LaNiO3 nanofibers becomes coarse with the increase of calcination temperatures. The diameter of LaNiO3 nanofibers was ca. 80 nm, and the length was greater than 100μm. The mass of the sample remained constant when the temperature was above 463℃, and the total mass loss percentage was 90.9%. Possible formation mechanism of LaNiO3 nanofibers was preliminarily proposed.展开更多

After treated with water and alcoholic KOH to remove partially polyvinylpyrrolidone and deacetylate the cellulose acetate, the membranes were further functionalized with thiol groups using thioglycolic acid. Related materials were characterized using infrared and thermogravimetric analysis. And the results showed that the membranes were success of functionalisation. Then the nanofiber membranes were used in the sorption-desorption process. The effects of pH, contacting time and adsorption capacity of nanofiber membranes were studied against Cu（II）, Cd（II） and Pb（II） ions. And the maximum adsorption capacities of Pb （II）, Cu （II）, and Cd （II） ions were estimated at 30.96, 19.63, 34.70 mg g-1. Our results suggested that the adsorption be- haviour of metal ions could be described using Langmuir model. Their adsorption kinetics was in agreement with the model of pseudo-second order, suggesting chemical adsorption as the rate-limiting step of the adsorption mechanism. The durability of the thiol-functionalized cellulose nanofiber membranes was also evaluated by repetitive adsorption-desorption.展开更多
