Electrospun Ag-TiO₂ Nanofibers for Photocatalytic Glucose Conversion to High-Value Chemicals.

ABSTRACT: TiO₂ nanofibers were fabricated by combination of sol-gel and electrospinning techniques. Ag-doped TiO₂ nanofibers with different Ag contents were prepared by two different methods (in situ electrospinning or wetness impregnation of Ag on TiO₂ nanofibers) and heat treated at 500 °C for 2 h under an air or N₂ atmosphere. The obtained catalysts were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and N₂ adsorption analyzed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. Photocatalytic glucose conversions with electrospun TiO₂ and Ag-doped TiO₂ nanofibers for production of high-value products were carried out. From different doping methods, the results indicated
