Single-capillary electrospinning has been exhibited to be a simple and scalable method for fabricating nanofibers. Construction of graphene/inorganic fibers with the core-shell hollow structure using graphene as skeleton has been rarely reported. Here, we show a facile approach to prepare electrospun reduced graphene oxide@SnO2 composite nanofibers with the hollow structure. The hollow core@shell structure is formed in a single-capillary electrospinning process including sintering, which is promising for the preparation of graphene/inorganic composite nanofibers. The reduction of as-synthesized graphene is realized by stannous ion. Resulting hollow and core-shell structure enables the reduced graphene oxide@SnO2 composite nanofibers to adsorb and desorb the target gas more easily, which is promising for future applications as fast NO2 gas sensor.

A core-shell structure RuRh@Pt/C nanoparticles was prepared by using a two-step reduction method under ultrasonic promotion. The catalytic performance was tested in methanol electrooxidation. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to characterize the obtained catalyst. The results showed that there was no alloy formed between the core RuRh and the shell Pt. The electrocatalytic activity of RuRh@Pt/C varied with the Ru/Rh ratio in the bimetallic core, among which the catalyst with the Ru/Rh ratio 1:2 and the Pt-shell thickness of 1.5 ([email protected]/C) showed the highest catalytic activity for methanol. With this catalyst, the current density of the oxidation peak for methanol electro-oxidation reached 2.3 times as that of Pt1.5/C while the corresponding peak potential shifted 60 mV negatively in comparing to that of Pt1.5/C. In addition, the catalyst with the core-shell structure of RuRh@Pt/C possessed much higher CO-tolerance for methanol electro-oxidation, indicating its promising application in low temperature fuel cell.
