The potential use of nanosilver-decorated titanium dioxide nanofibers for toxin decomposition with antimicrobial and self-cleaning properties

► Nanosilver-decorated TiO2 nanofibers were synthesized. ► Nanofibers were capable of decomposing NOx and VOC. ► Nanofibers showed antimicrobial activity towards Gram positive and negative bacteria. ► Nanofibers showed superhydrophilicity or self-cleaning properties under UV.
