Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) electrospun membranes immobilized with Zeolitic imidazole framework/graphene oxide hybrid (ZIF-8@GO) are fabricated via electrospinning. At first, ZIF-8@GO is synthesized by the in situ growth method. The UV-visible light (UV-vis) result demonstrates that ZIF-8@GO has a narrower band gap than ZIF-8. The performance of the obtained composite membrane is investigated by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, tensile test, water contact angle, and methylene blue (MB) removal test. The results demonstrate that the degradable PLA/ZIF-8@GO electrospun membrane shows enhanced tensile strength than neat PLA. The composite membrane also shows great MB removal ability by adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. The MB removal efficiency could reach over 90% at very low ZIF-8@GO concentration (0.06 mg/mL).
