研究目的
To develop a nanofiber film for photocatalytic degradation of ethylene and slowing down the ripening of banana fruit.
研究成果
Electrospun nanofibers containing 5 wt% TiO2 exhibited the best nanoparticle uniformity and optimal photocatalytic activity for the degradation of ethylene. The TiO2 nanofibers successfully delayed the ripening of bananas, showing great potential for extending the shelf life of fruits.
研究不足
The study did not investigate the large-scale applications of the TiO2 nanofiber film, which requires further investigation. The agglomeration of TiO2 nanoparticles at higher concentrations (10 wt%) resulted in decreased efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used electrospinning to prepare nanofibers containing different amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles (1 wt%, 5 wt%, and 10 wt%). The photocatalytic activities of these nanofibers were evaluated in a reactor for ethylene degradation. A banana fruit-ripening test was conducted to confirm the utility of the photocatalytic reaction.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Bananas were harvested at the green stage and sorted based on uniformity of color and size. All chemicals were of analytical reagent grade.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
PAN (polyacrylonitrile), DMF (N,N-dimethyl formamide), TiO2 (titanium (IV) oxide, anatase powder), ethylene (99.995%), SEM (SUPRA55, ZEISS, Germany), TEM (HT7700, Hitachi, Japan), EDS (Oxford INCA 350, Abingdon, UK), XRD (D8 ADVANCE, Bruker, USA), GC (7900, Techcomp, China).

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning TiO2/PAN/DMF solutions. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by measuring the percentage of ethylene degradation in a reactor. A banana fruit-ripening test was conducted to observe the delay in ripening.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The degradation of ethylene was calculated using a formula based on initial and final concentrations. The results were expressed as percentage of ethylene degradation.
