“…It is commonly recognized that when materials are designed to the nanoscale, they can acquire unique features that can potentially have far-reaching consequences in various fields. The specific surface area, for example, is inversely proportional to the size—the specific surface area of a fiber increases as its diameter decreases [ 52 ]. As the diameter of the fiber decreases from 500 nm to 5 nm, the surface area per kilogram of fiber increases considerably, from roughly 10,000 to 1,000,000 m 2 /kg [ 53 ].…”

There has been a surge in interest in developing protective textiles and clothes to protect wearers from risks such as chemical, biological, heat, UV, pollution, and other environmental factors. Traditional protective textiles have strong water resistance but lack breathability and have a limited capacity to remove water vapor and moisture. Electrospun fibers and membranes have shown enormous promise in developing protective materials and garments. Textiles made up of electrospun fibers and membranes can provide thermal comfort and protection against a wide range of environmental threats. Because of their multifunctional properties, such as semi-conductivity, ultraviolet absorption, optical transparency, and photoluminescence, their low toxicity, biodegradability, low cost, and versatility in achieving diverse shapes, ZnO-based nanomaterials are a subject of increasing interest in the current review. The growing uses of electrospinning in the development of breathable and protective textiles are highlighted in this review.

“…Another alternative approach for shape transformation is from nanospheres to nanorods. 115 Likewise, nanorods formed through the self-assembly of amphiphilic peptide oligomers have also been developed. 116 Under specific stimulation, the responsive groups can be cleaved to restore the interactions between amino acids and induce the transformation from spherical to rod-like structures.…”

“…Both nanorods and nanofibers can be formed by growing the nuclei of a TiO 2 precursor in vertical or horizontal directions. Nevertheless, nanofibers tend to be flexible and have a higher-density structure, while nanorods possess higher rigidity in nature [ 60 ]. While both nanorods and nanowires have a similar morphology, the former has lengths that typically fall in the range of 10–120 nm, while the latter has lengths that are not delimited and are much longer than their diameters [ 61 ].…”

Membrane technology has become increasingly popular and important for separation processes in industries, as well as for desalination and wastewater treatment. Over the last decade, the merger of nanotechnology and membrane technology in the development of nanocomposite membranes has emerged as a rapidly expanding research area. The key motivation driving the development of nanocomposite membranes is the pursuit of high-performance liquid separation membranes that can address the bottlenecks of conventionally used polymeric membranes. Nanostructured materials in the form of zero to three-dimensions exhibit unique dimension-dependent morphology and topology that have triggered considerable attention in various fields. While the surface hydrophilicity, antibacterial, and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 are particularly attractive for liquid separation membranes, the geometry-dependent properties of the nanocomposite membrane can be further fine-tuned by selecting the nanostructures with the right dimension. This review aims to provide an overview and comments on the state-of-the-art modifications of liquid separation membrane using TiO2 as a classical example of multidimensional nanomaterials. The performances of TiO2-incorporated nanocomposite membranes are discussed with attention placed on the special features rendered by their structures and dimensions. The innovations and breakthroughs made in the synthesis and modifications of structure-controlled TiO2 and its composites have enabled fascinating and advantageous properties for the development of high-performance nanocomposite membranes for liquid separation.
