Abstract

Abstract: Ultrathin 1D assembly of pure crystalline ZnO microfibers were fabricated using facile, low-cost electrospinning technique. Nanofibrous membrane preforms were synthesized by electrospinning a ZnO precursor containing PVA solution in aqueous medium. The crystalline ZnO microfibers were obtained by calcining PVA/Zinc Acetate precursor fibers at 500°C. The structure and morphologies of ZnO microfibers were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).
