Effect of Calcinations on Morphology of Electrospun Copper and Copper Oxide nanofibers

摘要

Metal and Metal oxide nanofibers have different potential to play an essential role in a series of application, among them copper and copper oxide nanostructures is a promising semiconductor material with potential applications in many field. In this paper, electrospinning method via sol-gel was used to fabricate copper and copper oxide nanofibers. Synthesize of copper and copper oxide nanofibers and also effect of calcinations temperature on morphology investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET).
