Electrospinning of a porous silica fiber-confined titanium dioxide catalyst for the degradation of methyl orange

Broadband NaYF4:Yb,Tm@NaYF4:Yb,Nd@TiO2 Nanoparticles Anchored on SiO2/Carbon Electrospun Fibers for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants

“…In addition, typical peaks originated from PVP appear at 1660 cm –1 (CO), 1290 cm –1 (−CN), 1460 cm –1 (−CH 2 ), and 1430 cm –1 (−CH 2 ). For mSC fibers, the FTIR spectrum is almost the same as that obtained for porous SiO 2 fibers, except for the presence of CC stretching at 1596 cm –1 , indicating that PAN was successfully carbonized. After the Tm@Nd@TiO 2 NPs are loaded onto the mSC fibers, the characteristic CC stretching peak of the Tm@Nd@TiO 2 /mSC composite shifts from 1596 to 1622 cm –1 due to the interaction between the Tm@Nd@TiO 2 NPs and the mSC fibers.…”

“…The mSC fibers were synthesized using a modified soft-templating method that we have previously developed. 40 As shown in Scheme 1B, PAN/PEG at a mass ratio of 1/1 was dissolved in DMF, stirring at 60 °C for 3 h. PAN/PEG nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning. The obtained bicomponent nanofibers were transferred into the Teflon stainless-steel autoclave and hydrothermally treated at 100 °C to remove PEG.…”

Synthesis of TiO2 nanofibers by electrospinning using water-soluble Ti-precursor

“…Electrospinning as a method of synthesis of nanofibers has been widely reported [14][15][16][17]. The technique is a versatile and efficient method for synthesizing uniform fibers with large specific surface area [18][19][20][21]. In electrospinning, high static voltage is applied to a polymer solution or melt, which can contain a precursor salt of metal oxide in a syringe.…”
