Particulate air pollution is a global environmental problem, with PM 2.5 being the primary pollutant. One of the most effective ways to remove particles from the air is through filtration. Therefore, high-performance air filters are urgently needed to combat the harm caused by PM 2.5 . This study uses an electrospinning technique to prepare high-efficiency polyvinylidene fluoride/graphene oxide/polyimide nanofiber membranes. These composite nanofiber membranes demonstrate high filtration efficiency (99.6%), low pressure drop (123 Pa), remarkable thermal stability (450 °C), and excellent mechanical strength (7 MPa). Considering the advantages, these highly efficient nanofiber membranes can find advanced applications in industrial and civil infrastructures.
