Abstract:

PVP/FeC6H5O7 composite nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning method. After 3 h of calcinations, the composite PVP/FeC6H5O7 nanofibers were turned to γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers. X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) method were employed to characterize the products. Before calcinations, the composite nanofibers had smooth and uniform surfaces with an average diameter about 1000 nm. After calcinations, the nanofibers shrank but maintained the continuous structures with an average diameter about 600 nm. When used to detect acetone, sensor based on γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers exhibited high response, good linear dependence(7.88×102—1.58×105 mg/m3), fast response and recovery speed at 230 ℃. The sensor also showed good stability. These properties make the γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers good candidates for acetone detection.
