Abstract
Carbon nanofiber (CNF) composites composed of SnO 2 and SiO 2 nanoparticles in the CNF were fabricated via a co-electrospinning method, and the weight percentage ratio of the SnO 2 and SiO 2 nanoparticles to the CNF was controlled to investigate their morphology and structural properties. Their structural characteristics and chemical compositions were shown by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and bright-field transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping results showed that the SnO 2 and SiO 2 nanoparticles were well distributed in the CNF, implying the successful formation of CNF composites consisting of three types of phases.
