Controlled synthesis of PAN/Ag2S composites nanofibers via electrospinning-assisted hydro(solvo)thermal method

Bi2MoO6 microtubes: Controlled fabrication by using electrospun polyacrylonitrile microfibers as template and their enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

“…The absorption band situated at about 1740 cm −1 represents the C O stretching vibration. The band at 3456 cm −1 is attributed to O H group [17]. Compared with the bands in the spectrum (a) in Fig.…”

“…2) reveal that the PAN microfibers display only one broad diffraction peak before solvothermal treatment. A narrow crystalline peak centers at about 17 • , and a broad non-crystalline peak (20-30 • ) are assigned to the PAN polymer phase, which show that pure PAN product is poorly crystallized [17]. As for the pattern of sample PAN/BMO-1, diffraction peaks at about 2Â = 23.…”

Synthesis and Optical Characteristics of PAM/HgS Nanocomposites

“…[1][2][3][4] In the past few years, significant progress has been made on these materials, and various approaches have been reported to synthesize inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials, such as micelle and microemulsion templates, 5 sol-gel process, 6 sonochemistry, microwave radiation, 7 biomimetic method, 8 LangmuirBlodgett (LB) method, 9 hydrothermal, 2 solvothermal 10 and others. As the representative of these materials, polymer/ metal chalcogenides nanocomposites have been extensively investigated because of their great potential in optoelectronic applications in the fields of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, sensors and optical recording materials.…”

“…18,19 Polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyacrylamide (PAM) have been extensively utilized for the fabrication of hybridization of semiconductor nanocrystals based on polymer matrix. 1,2,11,12,[20][21][22][23][24] The present study is aimed to synthesize polyacrylamide (PAM) -HgS nanocomposites at low temperature and ambient pressure and investigate their optical properties. The influence of temperature on the morphology and optical properties was systematically studied.…”

Growth and characterization of nanostructured CdS/Polyaniline/CuInSe2 thin films for solar cell applications

“…Here it is supposed that the dissociation of optically generated exciton in Polyaniline could give rise to a number of free charge carriers (electrons and holes) and these charges could be easily transported through Polyaniline backbone to window and absorber interface [6][7][8][9]. Polyaniline being an organic material is a very good candidate for supporting the inorganic semiconductors in optoelectronic applications because of its intrinsically hole conducting abilities, moderate p-type conductivity and environmental stability [10][11][12].…”
