Abstract

Abstract Cobalt-titanium carbide-carbon composite nanofibers (Co-TiC-CNFs [nanocomposite]) were prepared using one-step electrospinning of a sol-gel consisting of titanium(IV) isopropoxide, polyvinylpyrroliodine and cobalt acetate tetrahydrate. Dried electrospun nanofiber mats were sintered in an argon (Ar) atmosphere at 850 °C, i.e. at a lower temperature compared to literature data. The synthesized nanocomposite showed good electrical conductivity and could be used in various applications. The TiC preparation method used in this study could open the way for synthesizing different nanocomposite based metal carbides.
