“…1D ZrO 2 nanofibers (NFs), considered one of the most attractive ZrO 2 nanomaterials, have attracted increasing interest because of their capability to combine the inherited properties of ZrO 2 with those of NFs, such as high continuity, low bulk density, and excellent flexibility [32]. Over the past few decades, various advanced techniques, such as the biotemplate method [33][34][35], phase inversion method [36][37][38], centrifugal spinning [39][40][41], and electrospinning [42][43][44], have been developed to synthesize ZrO 2 NFs in solid [45,46], porous [47][48][49], hollow [50][51][52], hierarchical [53][54][55], and 3D assembled structures [56].…”

One-dimensional (1D) zirconium dioxide nanofibers (ZrO 2 NFs), as an important inorganic material, have attracted significant attention because of their unique structural characteristics, outstanding chemical/thermal stability, and excellent optical/electronic properties. The biotemplate method, phase inversion method, centrifugal spinning, and electrospinning are facile and highly versatile approaches for the synthesis of ZrO 2 NFs, which have great potential in many emerging applications, such as thermal insulation, air filtration, water purification, catalyst supports, dye-sensitized solar batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. In this review, strategies for synthesizing ZrO 2 NFs with various structures, such as porous, hollow, layered, and even 3D selfassembled structures, are described and analyzed in detail. Recent revolutionary progress in mitigating the brittle nature of ceramics and constructing flexible ZrO 2 NFs, as well as their deformation mechanisms, is also discussed. Then, achievements concerning the application fields of ZrO 2 NFs in thermal insulation, environmental remediation, catalysis, and batteries are presented. Finally, we provide a comprehensive summary of the critical challenges and future perspectives on ZrO 2 NFs. This review is envisioned to guide future research on novel ZrO 2 NFs for emerging applications.
