Purpose: The paper aimed to manufacture novel SnO2:Se4+ nanostructures using a two-step electrospinning method followed by calcination at 500°C and to investigate its morphology, structure, chemical composition and optical properties. Design/methodology/approach: Nanostructures prepared by electrospinning and calcination were analysed for morphology and structure using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The chemical and phase composition of the obtained nanomaterials was analysed using X-ray diffraction and the following spectroscopic methods: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer allowed us to analyse the range of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the nanowires SnO2:Se4+ and determine their optical band gap. Findings: The electrospinning method followed by calcination successfully produced impurity-free, homogeneous, polycrystalline one-dimensional SnO2 nanostructures doped with Se4+ with an average diameter of 140 nm. Analysis of the optical properties of the manufactured nanostructures showed that their maximum absorption is in the middle and near-ultraviolet. The fabricated SnO2:Se4+ nanowires were characterized by a much lower optical band gap than undoped nanowires, increasing their application potential. Research limitations/implications: The work is a basis for further research on the effect of doping SnO2 nanostructures with nonmetal ions, in which, in the future, special attention should be paid to the influence of the manufacturing process parameters on the structure, morphology and optical and electrical properties of nanostructures. Practical implications: The favourable optical properties of spun SnO2:Se4+ nanowires give them great application potential in photocatalysis and the construction of modern photovoltaic cells and optoelectronic devices. Originality/value: In the given work, for the first time, a method of manufacturing Se4+-doped SnO2 nanowires using the electrospinning method followed by calcination was presented, and their morphology, structure, and optical properties were characterized. The presented study may provide valuable knowledge for the further development of semiconductor nanomaterials, which play a key role in developing fields such as gas sensing, communication, and renewable energy.
