Polyoxometalates (Ti₀.₇₅PW₁₂O₄₀, Ti-PTA)/TiO₂ nanofiber composites were fabricated by a simple electrospinning technique and then high temperature calcination. In the structure, Ti-PTA, as an electron relay, can accept the photo-generated electrons from the conduction band of TiO₂, which promote the separation of photo-generated charges in TiO₂. Then the electrons stored on Ti-PTA further transfer to the Cr(vi) in the solution to realize the removal of Cr(vi). The Ti-PTA/TiO₂ nanofiber composites exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(vi), which might be a potential photocatalyst for Cr(vi) removal in environmental therapy.
