Fabrication and characterization of zirconium carbide (ZrC) nanofibers with thermal storage property

Preparation of Yb2O3 submicron- and nano-materials via electrospinning

“…The electrospinning solution was then prepared by mixing the crystals with commercial cellulose acetate in a solution of 1:1 acetyl acetone (2,4-pentanodione) and glacial acetic acid, according to Ref. [24]. The concentration of the cellulose acetate solution was kept at 10 wt% and an amount of ytterbium acetylacetonate corresponding to the C/Yb ratio of 4.0 was used.…”

Carbothermal reduction synthesis of ZrB2 nanofibers via pre-oxidized electrospun zirconium n-propoxide

“…The surfaces of the nanofibers started to become rough, forming some grains on the fiber surface, when the pre-oxidization rate was 20 1C/min. The appearance and growth of these nano-sized particles were due to formation, crystallization and growth of ZrO 2 during the heat treatment process before converting to ZrB 2 [13,31].…”

Formation of niobium oxide and carbide nanofibers from poly(vinyl alcohol)/niobium oxide composite nanofibers

“…Almost all of the inorganic nanofibers obtained from the precursors are metal oxide nanofibers [3][4][5][6], but the reports of metal carbide or nitride nanofibers have increased gradually in recent years [7][8][9][10].…”
