Influence of Ag/TiO2 nanoparticle on the surface hydrophilicity and visible-light response activity of polyvinylidene fluoride membrane

- A novel PVDF membrane was fabricated by embedment of Ag/TiO2 on the membrane.
- Influence of Ag/TiO2 on PVDF membrane was investigated by a series of experiments.
- Ag/TiO2 provided PVDF membrane with excellent surface hydrophilicity.
- Visible-light response activity of PVDF membrane varied with silver content.
