Synthesis of 1D Bi₂O₃ nanostructures from hybrid electrospun fibrous mats and their morphology, structure, optical and electrical properties.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to produce Bi₂O₃ nanowires using a combination of sol-gel process and electrospinning methods and a solution based on a 13% solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 1.5 g of bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O). The obtained fibrous composite mats were dried at room temperature for 24 h followed by the calcination process in air at two different temperatures of 400 °C and 600 °C. Analysis of the morphology of the fabricated Bi₂O₃ nanomaterials based on TEM images showed that the obtained ceramic structures could be classified as one-dimensional Bi₂O₃ nanostructures, with the sizes of the presented structures being 26
