Fabrication of Hollow TiO2 Fibers Templated by Electrospun Aqueous Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) Solution
Hollow TiO2 fibers were fabricated by electrospinning an aqueous solution of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and introducing the thread-like droplets directly into a titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP)/hexane solution, inducing the rapid hydrolysis and condensation of TTIP at the interface between the PEO solution and TTIP solution. Various hollow structures including submicron hollow fibers, thick fibers with a diameter of tens of micrometers, and spherical micron particles could be systematically synthesized by varying the molecular weight and concentration of PEO solution.
