Polyvinyl alcohol/beryllium sulfate/polyethyleneimine (PVA/BeSO/PEI) precursor nanofibers (NFs) was first fabricated to obtain PVA/BeSO/PEI electrospun NFs by electrospinning technology, finally manufactured beryllium oxide (BeO) NFs followed by various heat treatment methods. The minimum calcination temperature for pure BeO NFs was 1000 °C, and the minimum specific surface area (5.1 m g) and pore volumes (0.

The successful fabrication of PVB-amTiOF was confirmed by employing Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray measurement. Batch experiments were used to examine the cationic MB dye adsorption performance in the dark.
