Controlled Synthesis of TiO2 Hierarchical Nanofibre Structures via Electrospinning and Solvothermal Processes: Photocatalytic Activity for Degradation of Methylene Blue

Controlled Synthesis of TiO2 Hierarchical Nanofibre Structures via Electrospinning and Solvothermal Processes: Photocatalytic Activity for Degradation of Methylene Blue

The present article describes a new titanium oxide‐based (TiO2) photocatalyst that shows promise for acceleration of dye degradation. A hierarchical TiO2 nanostructure comprising nanorods on‐nanofibres has been prepared using a sol–gel route and electrospinning. Calcination of electrospun nanobre m...
