Abstract

<p> Various hierarchical structures (e. g. hollow, core&hyphen;shell, etc.,) have been synthesized by coaxial or multi&hyphen;fluidic compound&hyphen;jet electrospinning. However, the setup is complex and the parameters need to be carefully controlled. Herein, we report the creation of CoAl0.1Fe1.9O4 (CAF) solid, core&hyphen;shell, and hollow nanofibers via a single capillary electrospinning in combination with a controllable pre&hyphen;drying process of precursor nanofibers. The formation mechanism were outlined by investigating their morphology and microstructure in response to different experimental conditions. Moreover, these CAF core&hyphen;shell nanofibers were demonstrated the highest HC as compared to their solid and hollow nanofibers due to the enhanced magnetic surface anisotropy. The present single capillary electrospinning is not only a universal and effective method, but also can be readily extended to fabricate other materials with multi&hyphen;hollow structure.</p>
