Abstract
Electrospinning was employed to fabricate polymer–ceramic composite fibers from solutions containing polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and In(NO3)3·412H2O. Upon firing the composite fibers at 800 °C, In2O3 fibers with diameters ranging from 200 to 400 nm were synthesized. This indium oxide calcined at 800 °C is a body-centered cubic cell. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of the as-formed In2O3 nanofibers were investigated. The In2O3 nanofibers show a strong PL emission in the ultraviolet (UV) region under shorter UV light irradiation.
