Microfluidic Flow Synthesis of Functional Mesoporous Silica Nanofibers with Tunable Aspect Ratios

Microfluidic techniques open new frontiers for the controllable synthesis of functional micro/nanomaterials with desired shapes for a variety of applications. In this study, miniaturized spiral-shaped microchannel with two inlets and one outlet was specially designed for the controllable flow synthesis of mesoporous silica nanofibers (MSNFs) using one inlet flow containing cetyltrimethylammoniu...

Electrospun Metallic Nanofibers Fabricated by Electrospinning and Metallization

Catalytic Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers

Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers are graphitic filaments/whiskers with diameters ranging from 0.4 to 500 nm and lengths in the range of several micrometers to millimeters. Carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are grown by the diffusion of carbon (via catalytic decomposition of carbon containing gases or vaporized carbon from arc discharge or laser ablation) through a metal catalyst and its subsequent...

In situ assembly of well-dispersed Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) on electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs) for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

Carbon nanofibers/silver nanoparticles (CNFs/AgNPs) composite nanofibers were fabricated by two steps consisting of the preparation of the CNFs by electrospinning and the hydrothermal growth of the AgNPs on the CNFs. The as-prepared nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, resonant Raman s...
