“…Herein, inspired by mussel glue, cross-linked threedimensional (3D) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous aerogels (NFAs) with ultrahigh porosity, hierarchical porous structures, and good compression resistance are successfully fabricated via electrospinning, facile polydopamine (PDA) coating and crosslinking by ferric ions (Fe3+) followed by freeze-drying. Morphology characterization andcompression tests showthatboth multiplehydrogen bondingfacilitated bythePDA coating and Fe3+-PDA coordination bonding could effectively induce the formation of inter-fiber junctions, enhancing compression resistanceofthe3DNFAsandleadingtohierarchical porousstructureswithaverywidePSD.When a thin layer of the optimized 3D NFA with a large specific surface area (85.7m2g−1) is combined with a commercial air filter, the composite filter obtained exhibits high filtration efficiencies of 99.72% and 99.85% for airborne particles with sizes of<100nm and<500nm, respectively, at a low pressure drop of only 54.1Pa. …”
