| Abstract | Despite the interesting properties and potentially exciting applications of multifunctional one-dimensional nanoscale heterostructures that will likely impact areas such as optoelectronics, the fabrication of high-quality one-dimensional coaxial nanostructures in a simple, cost-effective, and scalable manner still remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate that highly uniform SnO2/TiO2 coaxial nanoscale fibers with a tunable internal morphology can be prepared in one step by means of coaxial electrospinning. Specifically, by varying the concentration of the tin precursor solution, the interior of these fibers can be tuned in terms of morphologies, ranging from filled solid to peapod-like, and even to hollow tubes. The diameters of the fiber core and the overall dimensions of the fibers were noted to be in the range of 30–160 and 200–300 nm, respectively, depending upon precursor concentration and electrospinning conditions. In particular, the photocatalytic activity of tubular SnO2/TiO2 coaxial nanofibers was found to be higher than that of commercial TiO2 photocatalysts, an observation which could be attributed to the formation of a seamless heterojunction between SnO2 and TiO2 as well as the inherent advantages of a one-dimensional tubular structure. Overall results suggest that coaxial electrospinning can be employed as a novel, facile route for the large-scale synthesis of one-dimensional inorganic coaxial nanoscale heterostructures used for a broad range of applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
