“…Recently, the electrospinning method has also been studied to fabricate one-dimensional inorganic semiconductors such as TiO 2 and ZnO. This is due to their potential applications in environmental remediation and protection, photocatalysis, dyesensitized solar cells, gas sensors, and batteries [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. In this sense, we have developed photocatalytic TiO 2 nanofibers by electrospinning method for application to the degradation of dye pollutants.…”

ABSTRACT:Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD). In the present work, the additive effect of ionic fluorinated surfactants-anionic and cationic surfactants -on the diameter, morphology, and crystalline structure of PVDF nanofiber was investigated. The addition of ionic fluorinated surfactants is useful for the formation of bead-free homogeneous fiber. At a higher concentration of the ionic surfactants, thicker fiber was formed. In addition, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the addition of both ionic fluorinated surfactants causes a complete change in conformation from the initial -phase of to the -phase of PVDF during ESD. A possible mechanism based on the interaction between the polymer and surfactant molecules during ESD is discussed.

ABSTRACT:Nanofiber with porous structures were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD) from poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blend and subsequent selective removal of PVP. In the present work, the effect of blending ratio of PVDF/PVP on formation of the pore and crystal structure of residual PVDF fiber was investigated. The residual PVDF nanofiber showed a higher specific surface area (the highest specific surface area was 28.54 m 2 /g from PVDF/PVP = 67/33 w/w). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction measurement also showed that selective removal of PVP enhanced the formation of -phase crystal structure in PVDF nanofiber (-phase content > 90%).
