    In this present work, metal and non-metal doping in tin oxide nanofibers was fabricated by electrospinning technique. Sb/F co-doped SnO<inf>2</inf> nanofibers was synthesized by using polyvinylpyrrolidone as polymer precursor and SnCl<inf>4</inf>·5H<inf>2</inf>O, SbCl<inf>3</inf>, NH<inf>4</inf>F as tin, antimony and fluorine source, respectively. The concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone and stannic chloride dissolved with mixture solvent of Dimethylformamide and absolute Ethanol were fixed at 8 and 10%w/w and used as staring precursors. Electrospinning process was carried out at 10 kV of applied voltage by maintaining tip to collector distance of 10 cm and the feeding speed of mixed precursor was controlled at 0.5 ml/h. The as-spun nanofibers mats were calcined in air at 600°C for 3 hours to obtain the doped-SnO<inf>2</inf> nanofibers. Thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction results support that the optimized calcined temperature to remove polyvinylpyrrolidone template and oxidize Sn precursor is 600°C. The morphologies of Sb/F co-doped SnO<inf>2</inf> nanofibers appear in rough surface with rearrangement of Sb/F doped SnO<inf>2</inf> porous nanobeads. The average diameter of Sb/F doped SnO<inf>2</inf> nanofibers is 422 nm with the crystallite size about 22 nm. Fourier-transform infrared and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results indicate states of transformation of starting precusors to the formation of Sb/F doped SnO<inf>2</inf> nanofibers.

    Well-defined Sb-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning technique. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), SnCl<inf>4</inf>·;5H<inf>2</inf>O and SbCl<inf>3</inf> were chosen as suitable precursors for preparing ATO nanofibers. All of precursors were homogeneously dissolved with the mixture solvent of dimethylformamide (DMF) and absolute ethanol. Electrospinning process was carried out at applied voltage of 10 kV and distance between needle tip to aluminium foil collector was fixed at 10 cm. The injection rate of precursor solution was controlled at 0.5 ml/hr. The as-spun nanofibers were calcined at 600°C with heating rate of 5 °C/min in order to remove the PVP template and improve the crystallinity of ATO structure. Effect of Sb doping concentration on their crystal structure was investigated. The morphology and crystal structure of the electrospun fibers were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In this work, the obtained ATO nanofibers had average range diameter from 150 to 350 nm with rough surface. Sb doping concentration in ATO nanofibers plays a key role on their network morphology. The excellent doping concentration of Sb that offered the continuous fibrous and porous ATO nanofibers was 7%.
