Abstract

In the paper cesium tungstate nanofibers for the first time have been fabricated successfully by a simple electrospinning technique followed by heat treatment. The cesium tungstate nanofibers have been characterized by XRD, SEM, and FTIR techniques. The results indicated the morphology and quality of the annealed electrospun samples are strongly dependent on the citric acid content within electrospinning solution. It is found with increasing the citric acid content from 7 to 22% the samples morphology changed from a particle structure to a fibrous structure. The average diameter of nanofibers was ~350 nm. XRD analysis reveals that all of the samples have good crystallinity with the same diffraction peaks that can be indexed to the tetragonal phase of Cs2W3O10. Furthermore, the photocatalyst properties of cesium tungstate has not been reported to date. In the work the synthesized Cs2W3O10 nanofibers were found to exhibit photocatalytic performance in the photodegradation of RhB aqueous solution used as a pollutant model.
