N2 - Tungsten oxide nanofibers have been successfully fabricated in a way based on electrospinning technique. A DMF solution of Poly(Vinyl Acetate)(PVAc, Mw=500,000) was mixed with tungsten isopropoxide to form a viscous precursor solution. Composite nanofibers were obtained by electrspinning this viscous solution. By calcination of the composite fibers, pure tungsten oxide nanofibers were obtained with controllable diameters of around 100 nm. Morphology of the fibers has been characterized by SEM and TEM. The relationship between solution concentration and ceramic nanofiber morphology has been studied. The detailed structure evolution process has been investigated by synchrotron based in-situ XRD. Specific phases of the oxide nanofibers at various calcination temperatures have been obtained from the in-situ XRD spectrum.
