Abstract

$(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$ composite fibers with various compositions of $TiO_2$ were prepared by electrospinning their sol-gel precursors of titanium (IV) iso-propoxide (TiP), and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The surface morphology and structure of sintered composite fibers were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). As the content of $TiO_2$ in $(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$ system was increased the average diameter of composite fibers was proportionally increased. Also, the transformation of $TiO_2$ from anatase to rutile form was inhibited by the highly dispersed $TiO_2$ around $SiO_2$ particles up to $0.6SiO_2-0.4TiO_2$ composite fibers even after calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. The photocatalytic activity of $SiO_2-TiO_2$ composite fibers was examined for the methylene blue (MB) decomposition which was confirmed using UV-vis/DRS spectra. The experiments demonstrated that the MB in aqueous solution was successfully photodegraded using $SiO_2-TiO_2$ composite nanofibers under UV-visible light irradiation.

전구체로서 알콕사이드[Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Titanium (IV) isopropoxide (TiP)]를 사용하여 졸-겔 방법으로 전기방사에 적합한 졸을 제조한 후, $(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$계 복합 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 제조된 광활성 무기나노섬유의 표면 및 구조적 특성은 X-선회절분석(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 투과전자현미경(TEM), 열중량분석 및 미분주사칼로리미터분석 (TGA-DSC), 적외선분광분석((FT-IR)을 통하여 확인하였다. $(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$계에서 $TiO_2$ 양이 증가하면 전기방사된 복합섬유직경은 증가하였으며, 저온에서 안정한 아나타제 $TiO_2$ 결정에서 루타일로의 상전이는 $1000^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리 후에도 고루 분산되어 있는 $SiO_2$로 인해 $0.6SiO_2-0.4TiO_2$계까지는 아나타제상으로 존재하였다. $SiO_2-TiO_2$계 복합체 나노섬유의 광활성은 메틸렌블루 광분해 실험 및 UV-vis/DRS 분석을 통해 자외선 영역에서 나타남을 확인하였다.
