This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in immobilization strategies for graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a metal-free photocatalyst that has gained significant attention for its optical and physicochemical properties comparable to traditional photocatalysts like TiO2. However, a critical challenge regarding their application has emerged from the difficulty of its recovery due to its powdery nature. Therefore, several alternatives are being explored to immobilize this material, facilitating its recovery and reuse. This review systematically categorizes various physical and chemical immobilization techniques, providing an in-depth analysis of their advantages, drawbacks, and applications. Techniques such as encapsulation, electrospinning, casting, and coating, along with their adaptations for g-C3N4, are thoroughly examined. Additionally, the impact of these strategies on enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency and operational stability of g-C3N4, particularly in environmental applications, is also assessed. Thus, this review aims to provide valuable insights and guide future research in the realms of photocatalysis and environmental remediation. The review contributes to the understanding of how immobilization strategies can optimize the performance of g-C3N4, furthering its potential applications in sustainable and efficient environmental solutions.

“…In addition, they have a large surface/volume ratio, are lightweight, have a porous morphology, and have the potential to load bioactive molecules into the fibers. Electrospun fibers arranged randomly and aligned can be fabricated in morphologies such as rod, core-shell, hollow, and porous depending on the process variables, solution parameters, and environmental conditions [18][19][20]. Natural or synthetic polymers are used alone or in combination in the production of fibers.…”

The process of electrospinning is over a century old, yet novel material and method achievements, and later the addition of nanomaterials in polymeric solutions, have spurred a significant increase in research innovations with several unique applications. Significant improvements have been achieved in the development of electrospun nanofibrous matrices, which include tailoring compositions of polymers with active agents, surface functionalization with nanoparticles, and encapsulation of functional materials within the nanofibers. Recently, sequentially combining fabrication of nanofibers with 3D printing was reported by our group and the synergistic process offers fiber membrane functionalities having the mechanical strength offered by 3D printed scaffolds. Recent developments in electrospun nanofibers are enumerated here with special emphasis on biomedical technologies, chemical and biological sensing, and energy harvesting aspects in the context of e-textile and tactile sensing. Energy harvesting offers significant advantages in many applications, such as biomedical technologies and critical infrastructure protection by using the concept of finite state machines and edge computing. Many other uses of devices using electrospun nanofibers, either as standalone or conjoined with 3D printed materials, are envisaged. The focus of this review is to highlight selected novel applications in biomedical technologies, chem.-bio sensing, and broadly in energy harvesting for use in internet of things (IoT) devices. The article concludes with a brief projection of the future direction of electrospun nanofibers, limitations, and how synergetic combination of the two processes will open pathways for future discoveries.
