Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofibers have gained significant attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields, including electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, energy storage, and biomedical devices. This chapter presents an overview of different fabrication techniques employed for the synthesis of ZnO nanofibers. It discusses both template-based and template-free methods, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and the resulting morphological and structural characteristics of the fabricated nanofibers. Electrospinning is a crucial nanofiber fabrication technique utilized in electronics design and software to create high-performance materials with tailored properties for applications such as sensors, energy storage devices, and electronic components. Furthermore, the chapter provides insights into the influence of process parameters on the growth mechanism and properties of ZnO nanofibers. The goal is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the various techniques available for fabricating ZnO nanofibers and to guide them in selecting an appropriate method for their specific applications.
