Photocatalytic and Magnetic Behaviors Observed in BiFeO3 Nanofibers by Electrospinning

الملخص EN

Perovskite-type BiFeO3 nanofibers with wave nodes-like morphology were prepared by electrospinning.

The nanofibers show a highly enhanced visible-light-active photocatalytic property.

The results also showed that the diameter could affect the band gap and photocatalytic performances of nanofibers.

Additionally, weak ferromagnetic behaviors can be observed at room temperature, which should be correlated to the size-confinement effect on the magnetic ordering of BiFeO3 structure.
