A review on electrospun membranes for potential air filtration application

Abstract

Air pollution is one of the major environmental concerns in most highly populated cities, which is typically caused by particulate (PM2.5 and PM0.1) or gaseous pollutants that can be removed using electrospun membranes. These membranes are characterized by different features in terms of uniform and controllable structure, tuneable porosity, and high surface area, where their separation efficiency strongly depends on their properties. In general, electrospinning is likely to be the most applied technique for the fabrication of nanofiber membranes for air filtration. The materials that can be employed for their production have been widely investigated relying on polymers and biopolymers which are key part for determining the overall membrane performance. Herein, the presence of additives often determines specific properties to the final membrane. Therefore, in this review, the current advances on fabricating electrospun membranes via electrospinning process for air filtration approaches and the potential air filtration applications are outlined.
