Abstract: A thin PVA/FeCl3 composite fiber was prepared by using sol-gel processing and electrospinning tech niques.A nanofiber of α-Fe2O3 with the diameter of 50_150 nm was obtained via high temperature calcina tion of the PVA/FeCl3 composite fiber.The material was characterized by infra-red(IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results show that the fiber after the calci nation at 700 ℃ was a pure α-Fe2O3 nanofiber.
