Structural and Photoluminescence Characteristics of ZnTiO3:Pb2+ Nanofibers Produced by Electrospinning

Article Preview

Abstract:

By sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique, ultrathin fibers of PVP/ ZnTiO3:Pb2+ composites were synthesized. After calcined of the fibers at 600°C, the spinel ZnTiO3:Pb2+ nanofibers, with a diameter of 100-200nm, were successfully obtained. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) were employed in the study. The results displayed that the morphology and crystalline phase of the fibers were greatly affecteded by the calcination temperature. The PL spectra of the samples measured at different excitation wavelength reveal a novel luminescent phenomenon in blue and green region, which can be attributed to the Pb2+-related charge-transfer transitions in ZnTiO3 nanofibers.
