Young's modulus and electrical resistivity of individual titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanofibers were characterized using a nanomanipulator system installed in a focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) dual-beam Scanning Electron Microscope system. Young's modulus of individual nanofibers was deduced from the analysis of their in situ resonance behavior in response to an oscillating electric field. The electrical behavior of a single nanofiber was also analyzed by a two-point method probed by a nanomanipulator. These results will contribute to the design of devices based on single TiO(2) nanofibers, as well as devices based on nanofiber networks. The methods presented here can also be applied to characterize other one-dimensional nanostructures.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fabrics often possess good mechanical, waterproofing, and breathability properties. However, the resistance of TPU to excessive ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is poor and often does not meet the UV resistance requirements of fabrics. Electrospun nanofibers with a side-by-side structure can combine the advantages of different materials.

Photoelectrochemical sensors have been studied for glucose detection because of their ability to minimize background noise and unwanted reactions. Titanium dioxide (TiO), a highly efficient material in converting light into electricity, cannot utilize visible light. In this regard, we developed a nonenzymatic glucose sensor by using a simple one-step electrospinning technique to combine cupric oxide with TiO to create a heterojunction.

As a sustainable alternative technology to the cost- and energy-intensive Haber-Bosch method, electrochemical nitrogen (N) reduction offers direct conversion of N to NH under ambient conditions. Direct use of noble metals or non-noble metals as electrocatalytic materials results in unsatisfactory electrocatalytic properties because of their low electrical conductivity and stability. Herein, three-dimensional flexible carbon nanofiber (CNF/TiO@CoS) nanostructures were prepared on the surface of CNF by using electrospinning, a hydrothermal method, and in situ growth.

Water purification has always been a critical yet challenging issue. In this study, an organic-inorganic composite membrane was developed using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers and hydroxyapatite nanowires (HAPNW) with tunable wettability for advanced membrane separation applications. The resulting free-standing TEMPO-BC/HAPNW filter membrane exhibited strong mechanical strength, high flexibility, exceptional deformability, and a high pure water flux of up to 800 L·m·h due to its porous architecture and inherent hydrophilicity.

Fluorescence spectroscopy employed to compute the antibacterial potential of pure ZnO and Titania (TiO) loaded ZnO (TiO: 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) electrospun nanofibers. The study of electrospun nanofibers followed by their structural, morphological and antibacterial properties has been revealed through fluorescence spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of nanofibers calcinated at 600 °C revealed the presence of polycrystalline wurtzite hexagonal crystallographic planes of ZnO with preferred orientation along (101) direction.
