Abstract
The demand for nanostructured materials can increase exponentially due to the miniaturization of devices and their potential application in different areas, such as electronic and medicine. Therefore, high production rates are essential for making nanomaterials commercially available. When electrospinning (ES) and solution blow spinning (SBS) are employed for producing ceramic nanostructures, the solution injection rate can influence the morphology without, however, supply the real ceramic production rate. In this work, complex superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x wires were prepared by using the SBS technique. We also show that the morphology can be controlled by varying the injection rate of the polymer solution and the production rate is 4.7 to 33 times higher than the rates of equivalent ceramics produced by ES. Additionally, we also suggest the term Ceramic Production Rate to refer to the production rate of ceramic structures.
