摘要：Photocatalytic membranes that driven by visible light are highly desired for water treatment. Here g-C3N4 quantum dots (QDs) assembled into TiO2 nanotube array (TNA) membranes were fabricated for the first time as a visible-light-driven g-C3N4/TNA membrane. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of membrane filtration and photocatalysis, more than 60% of rhodamine B could be removed from water under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, the g-C3N4/TNA membrane presented an enhanced anti-fouling ability during filtering water containing Escherichia coli under visible light irradiation, and a permeate flux of 2 times higher than that of filtration alone was obtained by integrated process. This study offers a promising strategy for the potential application of the visible-light-driven membranes in water treatment.
