The innovation of this research lies in the hot-pressing technique, which significantly enhances the mechanical properties and photocatalytic efficiency by improving the adhesion, dispersion, and uniformity of the TiO2\/chitosan coating on SiO2 nanofibers. SiO2 nanofibers with an initial diameter of 0.79 \u00b1 0.29 \u03bcm were coated and hot-pressed, resulting in a final diameter of 1.07 \u00b1 0.57 \u03bcm, which corresponds to an approximate increase of 35.4%. In addition, the 1 wt% TiO2-CTS sample showed the highest adhesion and surface energy, with values of 0.1 nN\/nm2, indicating the closest intermolecular binding. 3 wt% SiO2-CTS exhibits a maximum hardness of 5.23 Pa. The 3 wt% TiO2-chitosan coating demonstrated outstanding mechanical performance, achieving a fracture stress of 0.53 MPa, approximately five times that of the untreated SiO2 nanofibers, a Young\u2019s modulus of 0.63 MPa, and a toughness to triple of 0.27 MJ\/m3\u2014representing substantial improvements over uncoated membranes. Photocatalytic efficiency was significantly enhanced, with grayscale values increasing approximately 36% UV light exposure, indicating the superior degradation of pollutants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18214828","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]],"date-time":"2025-10-23T05:20:44Z","timestamp":1761196844000},"page":"4828","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hot-Pressed Reinforced Photocatalyzed TiO2\/Chitosan\/SiO2 Nanofibers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Jingwen","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zunzhi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingmei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunjing","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaru","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of New Energy and Energy Storage Technology, Xinjiang Institute of Technology, Aksu 843100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9396-6482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Key Laboratory of Intelligent and Green Textile, College of Textiles and Clothing, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"126887","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhazmat.2021.126887","article-title":"Recent progress in environmental applications of functional adsorbent prepared by radiation techniques: A review","volume":"424","author":"Dong","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
