Electrospinning of nanofibers and their applications for energy devices

摘要: With the depletion of fossil fuels and increasing demand energy for economic development, it is urgent to develop renewable technologies sustain growth. Electrospinning a versatile efficient fabrication method one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured fibers metals, metal oxides, hydrocarbons, composites, so forth. The resulting nanofibers (NFs) with controllable diameters ranging from nanometer micrometer scale possess unique properties such as high surface-area-to-volume aspect ratio, low density, pore volume. These make 1D nanomaterials more advantageous than conventional materials in harvesting, conversion, storage devices. In this review, key parameters e-spinning are discussed electrospun NFs applications solar cells, fuel nanogenerators, hydrogen harvesting storage, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors reviewed. advantages disadvantages electrospinning an outlook on possible future directions also discussed.
