Electrospinning has been thought of as an effective, low cost technique for producing nanofibers for use in gas sensor applications with nanofibers of tin oxide showing particular promise in this area. Critical to the success of tin oxide in these applications are nanowires with a rutile phase structure and well defined current-voltage characteristics which requires controlled fiber diameters. This paper reports on the characterization of the pre and post sintered fibers deposited via electrospinning of two different tin precursor chemicals, dimethyl dineodecanoate tin and dimethyl dichloro tin, both spun within a polyethylene oxide / chloroform binder system. Both tin precursor systems were evaluated at different concentration levels to investigate morphological changes due to concentration. Mats of fibers were spun on silicon wafers and sintered at 600°C for 2 hours. Morphology was characterized by optical microscope while chemical composition was determined via Raman spectrometry. Fibers of dimethyl dineodecanoate tin were found be ∼30μm in diameter and to have considerable component separation upon deposition. After sintering, SnO2 islands were found but there was no fiber appearance. Fibers of dimethyl dichloro tin were found to be ∼10μm in diameter and lacked the component separation seen in the other tin precursor system with some SnO2 domains found directly inline with initial fiber deposition. Comparison of results from both systems shows that the interaction of the polymer and tin precursor is of paramount importance for development of micro- or nanosized ceramic wires deposited by electrospinning.
