NiO Nanofibers as a Candidate for a Nanophotocathode

-type NiO nanofibers have been synthesized from a simple electrospinning and sintering procedure. For the first time, -type nanofibers have been electrospun onto a conductive fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. The properties of the NiO nanofibers have been directly compared to that of bulk NiO...

Description
Summary:	-type NiO nanofibers have been synthesized from a simple electrospinning and sintering procedure. For the first time, -type nanofibers have been electrospun onto a conductive fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. The properties of the NiO nanofibers have been directly compared to that of bulk NiO nanopowder. We have observed a -type photocurrent for a NiO photocathode fabricated on an FTO substrate.
