Synthesis of heteroarchitectures of PbS nanostructures well-erected on electrospun TiO2 nanofibers

Enhanced charge collection and photocatalysis performance of CdS and PbS nanoclusters co-sensitized TiO2 porous film

“…The SILAR technique [17][18][19] was employed to assemble CdS and PbS nanoclusters on TiO 2 porous films. Briefly, the TiO 2 porous film was dipped into 0.5 M cadmium acetate solution for 5 min and thoroughly rinsed with DI water, then dipped into 0.5 M sodium sulfide solution for another 5 min and rinsed with DI water.…”

Electrospun nanofibers of TiO2/CdS heteroarchitectures with enhanced photocatalytic activity by visible light

“…Here, cysteine served as the sulfur donor as well as chelating reagent in hydrothermal synthesis of nanofibers as reported by our group [19]. Only by tuning reactant concentration under hydrothermal process, we can alter both the size and the coverage of CdS nanoparticles acting as an effective and stable sensitizer for the TiO 2 nanofibers.…”

Transition metal sulfides meet electrospinning: versatile synthesis, distinct properties and prospective applications

“…Through a post-treatment process, metal sulfide nanoparticles can be not only hybridized with electrospun polymer nanofibers, but also carbon and ceramic nanofibers. [74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82] Recently, MnS@carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been prepared via an electrospinning and subsequent carbonization process (Figure 2d). 74 First, continuous MnSO 4 /PAN nanofibers are fabricated as freestanding membrane by electrospinning.…”

“…For example, Shao and co-workers fabricated TiO 2 /PbS heterostructure with PbS single cube nanocrystals erecting on electrospun TiO 2 nanofibers via a hydro(solvo)thermal reaction (Figure 2g). 76 SEM and HRTEM images show that PbS nanocubes possess an edge length of around 150-300 nm, dominating a preferential crystal growth direction in the ( 111) faces (Figure 2h and i). Recently, Qu and co-workers prepared NiCo 2 S 4 embedded in CNFs (NiCo 2 S 4 /CNFs) via an eletrospinning, calcination, and hydrothermal vulcanization process.…”
