Electrospun 1D-NiO hollow nanowires on glass support for the sunlight-driven photodegradation of methylene blue.

ABSTRACT: Sunlight-driven semiconductor photocatalysts have received substantial attention due to environmental degradation, but a simple and reusable photocatalyst design has been a challenging task. Herein, we report the fabrication of a one-dimensional hollow semiconducting nanowire structure by electrospun-mediated nickel oxide nanowires (NiO NWs) as a reusable photocatalyst by direct deposition on glass substrates. The effective control of the sunlight-driven hollow nanowires as the photocatalyst has a high surface area for multiple light-harvesting and interface redox reactions, a nanostructured thin shell for accelerated charge separation, transportation, and a large length-diameter ratio for easy recycling. The electrospun NiO NWs were nest-like hollow nanostructure fibers, crystalline, and
