Fabrication and Characterization of ZnO Nanofibers by Electrospinning

Abstract:

ZnO nanofibers were successfully prepared by electrospinning a precursor mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/zinc acetate, followed by calcination treatment of the electrospun composite nanofibers. The effect of applied voltage to the morphology of nanofibers was studied. Both PVP/Zn acetate and ZnO nanofibers were characterized by FESEM and XRD. The results show that the diameter of the nanofibers changed with applied voltage. Results found that the optimum calcined temperature was 500°C to produce continuous ZnO nanofibers.
