Electrospun Nanofiber Electrodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

Electrospun nanofiber materials have the advantages of good continuity, large specific surface areas, and high structural tunability, which provide many desirable characteristics for lithium‐ion battery electrodes. Here, the principles and advantages of electrospinning technology are first elaborated, then the previous studies on high‐performance nanofibrous electrode materials prepared by electrospinning technology are comprehensively summarized, and the correlation between 1D nanostructured materials and electrode performances is discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges of nanofibrous electrodes are proposed and some future study directions of this particular area are pointed out. This review provides new enlightenment for the design of nanofibrous electrodes toward high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries.

“…Moreover, nanofibers can also act as tissue engineering scaffolds to facilitate the repair of damaged tissues. 63 Emanuela Bellu et al 64 employed specific molecules to prepare nanofibers to prevent skin aging caused by ultraviolet exposure, aiming to maintain its youthful phenotype. The preparation of nanofibers allowed for the organized delivery of anti-aging Mediterranean plant extract, Helichrysum italicum.…”

A review on electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone-derived carbon composite nanofibers as advanced functional materials for energy storage applications and beyond

“…Combining a 1D structure, large pores, and conductive carbon can increase the electrolyte-active material contact area, shorten the Li + /Na + ion diffusion pathway, and speed up electron transfer. 23 These merits make CNF-based materials attractive for a wide range of applications, including energy storage and conversion, sensing, catalysis, water ltration, drug delivery, gas separation, and tissue engineering. 18,24 To date, different approaches have been reported for the synthesis of carbon composite nanobers, including template synthesis, chemical vapor deposition on graphene, solvothermal synthesis, and electrospinning.…”
