Fabrication of Tin Oxide Nanofibers by Electrospinning Method
Abstract
This work studied the synthesis of SnO2 nanofibers by electrospinning method and the nanofibers were calcined at 500, 600 and 700 ̊C for 2 and 4 h in air. The crystal structure and surface morphology of SnO2 nanofibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) respectity. The optical properties of the samples were investigated by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The XRD results confirmed the formation of a SnO2 phase with rutile tetragonal structure. FE-SEM image of SnO2 nanofibers showed interwoven into a network structure with diameter from 178 to 200 nm. The UV-vis results indicated that a strong ultraviolet absorption at absorption peak position about 300 nm and the energy band gap of SnO2 nanofibers were in range of 3.67-3.78 eV.Keywords: tin oxide, electrospinning method, nanofibers, tetragonal structureReferences
