Electrospinning of nanofiber Chevrel phase materials

Abstract

A modified sol–gel synthesis for non-oxide sulfide ceramics is presented. Sols are electrospun into continuous nanofiber precursors and then heat treated to obtain Chevrel-phase sulfide materials. In particular, the Mg-Chevrel fibers formed have average diameters of 230 ± 57 nm with grain sizes of 10 ± 3 nm after heat-treatment.
