“…Designing electrocatalysts by integrating the advantages of multiple materials is an effective strategy to enhance electrochemical water splitting performance. Selvan and coworkers [ 113 ] used Nb 2 O 5 as a carrier material for platinum NPs to functionalize CNFs. Figure a shows a schematic diagram of bare CNF, CNF doped with Nb 2 O 5 , and CNF doped with platinum‐containing Nb 2 O 5 .…”

Electrochemical water splitting, as a promising sustainable‐energy technology, has been limited by its slow kinetics and large overpotential. This shortcoming necessitates the design of 1D nanocatalysts with large surface area, high electronic conductivity, and easily tunable composition. Herein, recent progress about electrocatalytic water splitting based on the advanced electrospun nanomaterials is reviewed. First, the related fundamentals of electrochemical water splitting according to two main aspects are discussed as follows: hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction. Second, the structure design and the electrocatalytic properties of electrospun nanomaterials according to difference in component (including single metal‐based electrocatalysts, metal alloy‐based electrocatalysts, metal oxide‐based electrocatalysts, metal sulfide‐based electrocatalysts, metal phosphide‐based electrocatalysts, metal carbide‐based electrocatalysts, etc.) are summarized. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges for designing next‐generation 1D electrospun nanocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting are concluded.

Nowdays, electrocatalytic water splitting has been regarded as one of the most efficient means to approach the urgent energy crisis and environmental issues. However, to speed up the electrocatalytic conversion efficiency of their half reactions including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), electrocatalysts are usually essential to reduce their kinetic energy barriers. Electrospun nanomaterials possess a unique one‐dimensional structure for outstanding electron and mass transportation, large specific surface area, and the possibilities of flexibility with the porous feature, which are good candidates as efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting. In this review, we focus on the recent research progress on the electrospun nanomaterials‐based electrocatalysts for HER, OER, and overall water splitting reaction. Specifically, the insights of the influence of the electronic modulation and interface engineering of these electrocatalysts on their electrocatalytic activities will be deeply discussed and highlighted. Furthermore, the challenges and development opportunities of the electrospun nanomaterials‐based electrocatalysts for water splitting are featured. Based on the achievements of the significantly enhanced performance from the electronic modulation and interface engineering of these electrocatalysts, full utilization of these materials for practical energy conversion is anticipated.

Summary Fuel cell technology has matured, and much emphasis has been placed on commercialization efforts for these systems, whether for stationary or portable applications. Several factors influence commercialization success, including the use of strong, durable, and cost‐effective material technology. The two most important components in a fuel cell are the catalyst and proton exchange membrane. In addition, some crucial characteristics need to be possessed: high catalytic activity, high surface area, high proton conductivity, low fuel permeability, and increased stability chemical, mechanical, and thermal. The following properties will require the development of catalysts and membranes in the nano‐scale structure. Nanofiber is a unique nanostructure that has been investigated in fuel cell technology to produce the catalyst and proton exchange membrane. The electrospinning technique has gained prominence to fabricate nanofibers because of its ease to use, simplicity, and wide range of applications. Thus, the main objective of this review is to provide an overview of the electrospinning process by explaining the operating principle, parameters influencing the electrospinning technique, and application of nanofibers in the fuel cell, specifically for the fabrication of electrolyte electrospun nanofiber membranes and fibrous materials as an electrochemical catalyst in fuel cell applications. This review also discusses the benefits of the investigated nanofiber materials and the challenges and prospects of the electrospinning technique in a fuel cell.
