Abstract

TiO2 nanofiber and microsphere were synthesized by the electrospinning method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scan electronic microscope, ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectrum and nitrogen sorption analysis. The effects of different reaction conditions on the formation of TiO2 nanofiber and microsphere were studied. The results show that the viscosity of polymer solution was the key factor that determined the morpha of TiO2 nanofiber and microsphere. Compared with the TiO2 nanoparticle, the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanofiber and microsphere increased by a factor of 80% and 60%, respectively.
