Abstract

Electrospinning is a simple and inexpensive method for generating nanofibers. In this regard, here we report preliminary data on the morphological and microstructural characterization of V2O5/PVAC composite nanofibers prepared by electrospinning from a solution containing poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) and vanadium(diisoproproxide) in ethanol. The synthesized vanadium pentoxide-based nanofibers have been used as sensing layer for monitoring of low ammonia concentrations in air.
