Abstract
. The prepared fabric has significant potential for use in eco-friendly textile products and antibacterial fabrics. Besides, our novel textiles showed not only the photocatalytic property needed to degrade organic dyes such as methylene blue in water but also the ion-sensing property for mercury(II) ions by changing the textile color from yellow to colorless.
