“…TiO 2 fibers and particles have been developed for applications in photovoltaic and organic photovoltaic multilayer devices. TiO 2 fibers have numerous current or potential applications as photocatalysts [6], gas sensors [7], in water treatment systems [8], and, given its biocompatibility, in medical applications [11]. Several projects have been conducted to study the development of TiO 2 nanofibers (NFs) and/or hybrid NFs with TiO 2 as the inorganic phase which has the flexibility, light weight and high strength like organic materials, in addition to thermal and chemical stability like inorganic materials [9], which provide adequate structural properties.…”

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers with potential applications in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells, photocatalysts, gas sensors, and water treatment systems, among others, have been produced at large yield rates utilizing the Forcespinning® (FS) technology. This study presents the results of research performed to determine optimal processing parameters to create TiO2 nanofibers at a high production rate. The effects of polymer concentration and angular velocity on fiber formation, yield rate, average fiber diameter, and homogeneity of the nanofibers were studied. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis were conducted on the produced systems. The developed homogeneous, bead-free, continuous nanofibers were subsequently heat treated under different calcination conditions. The resultant TiO2 fibers were characterized to determine the correlation between the occurrence of anatase and/or rutile phases, the heat treatment conditions, and other adjustable parameters.
