The results of the synthesis of PAN/NiO composite fibers by the electrospinning method are presented. The electrospinning installation included a rotating drum collector for collecting fibers. Nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis from nickel nitrate and urea. It was shown that monophase NiO nanoparticles with average particle sizes of 154 nm could be synthesized by this method. NiO nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Based on NiO nanoparticles, composite PAN/NiO fibers were obtained by electrospinning. The obtained composite fibers were modified with heat treatment (stabilization and carbonization) processes. Obtained C/NiO fibers were investigated by SEM, and EDAX. It was shown that obtained composite fibers could be used for the detection of acetone and acetylene in air. These results show that C/NiO based electrospun fibers have potential applications in gas sensors.
