The presence of pathogenic viruses in drinking water threatens public health severely. However, there is little information about how to use photocatalysts to disinfect viruses. In this report, one-dimensional Cu-TiO2 nanofibers were fabricated using the electrospinning method and used for the removal of bacteriophage f2. The results showed that the optimum doping ratio and calcination temperature of the Cu-TiO2 nanofibers was n(Cu) : n(Ti) = 1 : 8 and 450 degrees C, respectively. In addition, bacteriophage f2 with an initial concentration of 105 PFU mL(-1) was completely inactivated with a dosage of 50 mg L-1 of Cu-TiO2 nanofibers under visible light irradiation for 4 h. Furthermore, the results from characterization of the nanofibers by various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry ( EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis spectrophotometry demonstrated that TiO2 existed in the anatase phase and Cu2+ substituted Ti4+ in the TiO2 lattice. The introduction of Cu into TiO2 effectively extended the spectral response of TiO2 to visible light. On the basis of this evidence, the mechanism of virus inactivation by Cu-TiO2 nanofibers was proposed.
