Abstract An electrospinning technique was first developed to fabricate CuWO4 nanofibrous mat as photocatalyst. After calcination at 550 °C to completely remove PAN polymer, the average diameter of anorthic CuWO4 nanofibers was 250 nm. Due to the existence of mesoscale and macroscale pores, the surface area of CuWO4 nanofibers was up to 17.96 m2 g−1. In addition to the favorable recycling performance, CuWO4 nanofibers exhibited higher visible light photocatalytic activity than that of CuWO4 nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal method. Such an advantageous electrospinning route brings effective improvement in the photocatalytic activity and affords a solution to the separation problem from wastewater purification for photocatalyst.
