Hierarchical heterostructures of p-type BiOCl nanosheets on electrospun n-type TiO2 nanofibers with enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…Electrospun nanofibers were chosen as hard templates because they have many advantages in photocatalytic process. The advantages are as follows: (1) their large surface-to-volume ratio enables fast surface photocatalytic reactions and quick mass transfer of active species; (2) the large roughness of their surfaces makes better use of light through multiple reflections; and (3) the large length to diameter ratio also gives favorable sedimentation and recycling characteristic in the photocatalytic applications [19][20][21]. Photocatalytic results show that p-BiOCl/n-TiO 2 HHs exhibit favorable UV-light photocatalytic activity for degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) and reduction of Cr (VI).…”

Preparation and morphology of magnesium titanate nanofibres via electrospinning

“…Obtaining phase pure MgTiO 3 by solid state reactions is difficult because of the formation of other metastable titanate phases which persist to a certain extent in the final phase [5]. Recently, electrospinning technique has been used to prepare alumina borate [15], titania silica [16], silica [17], cobalt oxide [18], nickel oxide [19], copper oxide [20], niobium oxide [21], vanadium pentoxide [22] and zinc oxide [23] nanofibres or superfine fibres. This technique has been found to be unique and cost effective approach for fabricating large surface area membranes for a variety of applications [21,[24][25][26].…”
