Abstract

A combination of sol-gel chemistry and the electrospinning process leads to unprecedented versatility in the design of nano-Magnéli phases. Adjusting experimental levers provides an efficient route for tuning the composition, the crystal structure, and the nano- and microstructure of titanium sub-oxides, thus paving the way to functional membranes and tissues.

Keywords: electrospinning; fibers; nano-Magnéli phases; nanostructures; titanium.
