Abstract
Cotton is one of the oldest and most widely used natural fibers in the world. It enables a wide range of applications due to its excellent moisture absorption, thermal insulation, heat resistance, and durability. Benefiting from current developments in textile technology and materials science, people are constantly seeking more comfortable, more beautiful and more versatile cotton fabrics. As the second skin of body, clothing not only provides the basic needs of wear but also increases the protection of body against different environmental stimuli. In this article, a comprehensive review is proposed regarding research activities of systematically summarise the development and research of cotton fabric-based photocatalytic composites for the degradation of organic contaminants in the area of self-cleaning, degradation of gaseous contaminants, pathogenic bacteria or viruses, and chemical warfare agents. Specifically, we begin with a brief exposition of the background and significance of cotton fabric-based photocatalytic composites. Next, a systematical review on cotton fabric-based photocatalytic composites is provided according to their mechanisms and advanced applications. Finally, a simple summary and analysis concludes the current limitations and future directions in these composites for the degradation of organic contaminants.

Chen J, Wang K, Tian J, Yu W, Chen Y, Li N, Qi Z, Wang C. Preparation of BiOCl/Bi 2WO 6 Photocatalyst for Efficient Fixation on Cotton Fabric: Applications in UV Shielding and Self-Cleaning Performances. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:7002. [PMID: 34832402 PMCID: PMC8623855 DOI: 10.3390/ma14227002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
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.
