Abstract
Porous TiO 2/ZnO composite nanofibers have been successfully prepared by electrospinning technique for the first time. It was generated by calcining TiO 2/ZnCl 2/PVP [PVP: poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)] nanofibers, which were electrospun from a mixture solution of TiO 2, ZnCl 2 and PVP. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were used to identify the morphology of the TiO 2/ZnO nanofibers and a formation of inorganic TiO 2/ZnO fibers. The porous structure of the TiO 2/ZnO fibers was characterized by N 2 adsoption/desorption isotherm. Surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) and photocatalytic activity measurements revealed advance properties of the porous TiO 2/ZnO composite nanofibers and the results were compared with pure TiO 2 nanofibers, pure ZnO nanofibers and TiO 2/ZnO nanoparticles.
