Abstract

This study endeavors to fabricate and comprehensively characterize electrospun nanofibers derived from walnut shells. Utilizing walnut shells as the primary raw material， the electrospinning technique is employed to generate the nanofibers. The study delves into the impact of various spinning parameters on the morphology and diameter of the resultant nanofibers， employing SEM for detailed examination. Furthermore， FT-IR， XRD， TGA， and resistivity measurements are conducted to elucidate the structure and properties of the walnut shell nanofibers. The findings reveal that under optimized conditions—specifically， a spinning solution concentration of 55%， a spinning voltage of 16 kV， an injection rate of 0.75 mL/h， and a collector distance of 14 cm，smooth-surfaced nanofibers with a uniform diameter distribution and an average diameter of 0.38 μm are successfully produced. Notably， the structural orderliness of these nanofibers is substantially enhanced， and their thermal stability at 500 ℃ exhibits a 1.29-fold improvement compared to the initial state. Additionally， the electrical conductivity of the nanofibers also undergoes a favorable enhancement.
