Influence of the collector and heat treatment in the structure of BiFeO3 electrospun nanofibers

Description

The objective of this work was to analyze the influence of the collector type and heat treatment on the morphology and crystalline phases of BiFeO3 electrospun nanofibers. A solution containing (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O and Bi(NO3)3.5H2O) as precursors together with a polyvinylpyrrolidone solution was electrospun using 2.8KV/cm as electrical field. The collector type was however, changed (aluminum and glass). After the electrospinning, the as-spun nanofibers were submitted to two different heat treatments: one at 550°C and the other at 750°C, both during 2h. The collector type changed the morphology of the nanofibers; while in the glass collector, a non-woven mat of flat and rough nanofibers was obtained, in the aluminum collector, mats of circular and smooth nanofibers were obtained. The thermal treatment also changed the morphology and amount of crystalline phases; at 550°C, the nanofiber morphology was maintained and only one crystalline phase (BiFeO3) was detected. On the other hand, at 750°C, flakes were obtained of two crystalline phases (BiFeO3 and Bi2Fe4O9). (author)
