Synthesis and Characterization of Electrospun Nanocomposite TiO𝟐 Nanofibers with Ag Nanoparticles for Photocatalysis Applications

Polycrystalline mixed-phase TiO2 nanofibers embedded with 2.0% w/v Ag nanoparticles was prepared by the electrospinning technique. Calcination of dry Ag nanoparticles-titanium (IV) isopropoxide/PVP electrospun nanofiber mats in air at 510∘C for 24 h yielded polycrystalline TiO2/Ag nanofibers. The mo...
