Electrospun nanofibers of NiO/ZnO composite

For the first time, nanofibers of PVA/nickel acetate/zinc acetate composite were prepared by using sol–gel processing and electrospinning technique. By high temperature calcinations of the above precursor fibers, nanofibers of NiO/ZnO composite with diameters of 50–150 nm could be successfully obtained. The fibers were characterized by TG/DTA, IR, XRD and SEM. The results showed that the crystallinity and the morphology of the fibers were largely influenced by the calcination temperature.
