Abstract

Molybdenum oxide/ Poly (ethylene oxide) composite nanofibers were prepared by combining the sol-gel process and electrspinning technique. An ethanol solution of Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was mixed with molybdenum isopropoxide to form a precursor solution. Composite nanofibers were obtained by electrspinning this viscous solution. By calcination of the composite fibers, pure molybdenum oxide nanofibers and nano-rods were obtained with diameters of 100-nanometer scale. Morphology of the fibers has been characterized by scanning electric microscopy. Components and structures of the final products have been identified by EDAX and grazing incidence XRD. Calcination process has been studied by DSC and TG analysis. The real time dynamics of the structural evolution from composite fibers to nanocrystalline metal oxide fibers has been investigated by synchrotron-based in-situ x-ray diffraction.
