In this present doctoral work, a study of the morphological, structural, optical properties, surface chemical composition and photocatalytic activity of ZnO, ZnO-TiO2 and ZnO-RGO nanostructures was carried out. The ZnO and ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures were fabricated by the electrospinning technique using different amounts of precursor (zinc acetate). Meanwhile, the ZnO-RGO nanostructures were obtained by hydrothermal growth of ZnO-RGO seeds layers fabricated by electrospinning, varying the RGO amount and the spinning voltage. In all cases, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glasses were used as supports. The series of ZnO and ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures were obtained from precursor fibers fabricated by electrospinning with different mass ratios between zinc acetate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), in the spinning solution, of 1: 2, 2: 3, 1: 1 and 3: 2. Specifically, ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures were obtained from these precursor fibers with commercial TiO2 (P25-Degussa) nanoparticles adhered in-situ by electrostatic attraction between the fiber collector and the nanoparticles due to the use of the electric field itself of The electrospinning technique. The resulting precursor fibers were subjected to a heat treatment by calcination at 600 ° C, in order to obtain the desired ZnO and ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis reveals a relationship between the morphology of the nanostructures with the mass ratio of zinc acetate / PVA, where the average diameter of ZnO nanoparticles that form these nanostructures ranged between 31 nm and 80 nm. In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) shows the formation of ZnO nanostructures with wurtzite hexagonal crystalline structure due to the calcination process and a small peak corresponding to TiO2 anatase phase in the case of ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures.
