Zinc oxide's hierarchical nanostructure and its photocatalytic properties

Hierarchical TiO2/ZnO Nanostructure as Novel Non-precious Electrocatalyst for Ethanol Electrooxidation

“…7(a) increases. In conclusion, the new morphology may increase the surface area of the obtained nanofibers [24] which might enhance the electrocatalytic activity.…”

“…It has been mainly applied to pure organic polymers but functional inorganic nanofibers can be produced by using sol-gel composed of metal(s), precursor(s), and proper polymer(s) [24][25][26] . Moreover, electrospinning can be invoked to produce polymeric nanofibers containing solid nanoparticles [27] .…”

Electrospun NiO, ZnO and composite NiO–ZnO nanofibers/photocatalytic degradation of dairy effluent

“…Similarly, Fig. 1c, d and e, f shows SEM images of the dried ZnAc/PVA [13,14] and NiAc/ ZnAc/PVA after vacuum drying, as can be clearly seen, smooth and continuous nanofibers were formed by electrospinning of these sol-gels. It is to note also that the addition of different acetates did not affect the morphology of the nanofibers.…”

Recent Trends in Electrospinning of Polymer Nanofibers and their Applications as Templates for Metal Oxide Nanofibers Preparation

“…ZnO hollow nanofibers showed interesting results related to sensing characteristics against C 2 H 5 OH. Another study by Kanjwal et al [95] reported the preparation of rough ZnO hierarchical nanofibers as a photocatalyst against methylene blue dehydrate. They electrospun a colloidal solution consisting of ZnNPs, PVA, and ZnAc dehydrate and then followed by a calcination step at 500°C.…”
