In situ carbon thermal reduction method for the production of electrospun metal/SiOC composite fibers

Various electrospun metal/SiOC (Ag/SiOC, Co/SiOC, and Cu/SiOC) composite fibers were synthesized via a carbon thermal reduction of four kinds of metal source (silver oxide nanoparticles, silver acetate, cobalt acetate, and copper trifluoro acetylacetonate). XRD results indicate that both common metal–organic metal precursors and seldom used metal oxide particles were successfully carbon thermally reduced to the corresponding metallic particles...
