“…More importantly, as illustrated in Figure 11D, preparation of ANF film by VAF is very similar to the papermaking process, which mainly comprises the furnish preparation (ANF/H 2 O dispersion), draining, forming, press, calendaring (if necessary), and drying. [ 77,78 ] Interestingly, the orientation of nanofibers in the ANF film and the thickness, tightness, and basic weight of the ANF film could be easily regulated by controlling the papermaking technological parameters. Therefore, preparing ANF film by the papermaking technology is a highly feasible, efficient, and promising approach, which can be beneficial toward realizing the roll‐to‐roll production and industrialization of ANF films in the future.…”

Aramid nanofibers (ANFs) are of great interest in various applications due to its 1D nanoscale, high aspect ratio, high specific surface area, excellent strength, and modulus as well as impressive chemical and thermal stabilities. It is considered as one of the most promising nano-sized building blocks with excellent properties and has therefore drawn increasing attention since 2011. However, no review has summarized the research progress and the prospective challenges of ANF. Herein, the methods of ANF fabrication and their relative merits are comprehensively discussed together with the challenges and progress in the deprotonation method for preparing ANF. The fabrication methods and development of ANF-based advanced materials with different macroscopic morphologies, including the 1D ANF aerogel fiber, 2D ANF film/nanopaper/coating, and 3D ANF gel and particle are also described. Furthermore, the applications of ANF in nanocomposite reinforcement, battery separators, electrical insulation nanopaper, flexible electronics, and adsorption and filtration media are presented. Additionally, the possible challenges and outlooks toward the future development of ANF are highlighted. This review indicates that the ANF and ANF-based materials mentioned herein will boost the development of next-generation advanced functional materials.

“…Ball milling, cryo‐crushing, or high‐pressure homogenization are commonly used as physical methods (top‐down techniques) to produce cellulose nanofibers from natural sources. For example, the production of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) by fibrillation of cellulose plant cell fibers employs the mechanical isolation of individual fibrils by processes of grinding, cryo‐crushing, or high‐pressure homogenization …”

“…For example, the production of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) by fibrillation of cellulose plant cell fibers employs the mechanical isolation of individual fibrils by processes of grinding, cryo-crushing, or high-pressure homogenization. [58,59] Chemical methods involve chemical reactions between two or more reacting species to form nanofibers. Such a chemical reaction can occur simultaneously or be caused by an external force such as high energy radiations, electrical energy, or thermal energy to form nanofibers.…”

Unique features of nanofibers provide enormous potential in the field of biomedical and healthcare applications. Many studies have proven the extreme potential of nanofibers in front of current challenges in the medical and healthcare field. This review highlights the nanofiber technologies, unique properties, fabrication techniques (i.e., physical, chemical, and biological methods), and emerging applications in biomedical and healthcare fields. It summarizes the recent researches on nanofibers for drug delivery systems and controlled drug release, tissue‐engineered scaffolds, dressings for wound healing, biosensors, biomedical devices, medical implants, skin care, as well as air, water, and blood purification systems. Attention is given to different types of fibers (e.g., mesoporous, hollow, core‐shell nanofibers) fabricated from various materials and their potential biomedical applications.

“…Moreover, morphology can not only influence mass transportation and light harvesting of materials, but also affect the separation and migration of photogenerated charges . Nanostructured materials constructed by nanocrystals have plentiful morphologies, and, based on the dimensionality of the nanostructures, they can be classified as zero‐dimension (0D, such as sphere), one‐dimension (1D, such rodlike), two‐dimension (2D, such as sheet‐like) and three‐dimension (3D) . Among them, 1D nanostructured m BiVO 4 materials showed better photocatalytic performance owing to higher surface area and other unique properties.…”

For example, Jiang et al [29] prepared 1D rodlike mBiVO 4 with a length of 0.5-3 μm and a diameter of 100-250 nm using the solvothermal strategy with the triblock copolymer P123 as a structure-directing agent.…”

Mesocrystals have attracted more attention owing to their unique structures and properties. Nevertheless, facile and green synthesis of well‐defined mesocrystals still remains a significant challenge. Herein, one‐dimensional (1D) rodlike monoclinic scheelite phase BiVO4 (mBiVO4) mesocrystals having superstructures orderly assembled by mBiVO4 nanoparticle building blocks, were created via a facile solvothermal method in the glycerol (Gly)/water mixed solvent without any additives. By adjusting the dosage of Gly and pH value of the reaction system, the microstructure of BiVO4 can be accurately regulated. The obtained samples were carefully characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, BET, FTIR, PL and UV‐vis techniques. The lower pH value and the higher dosage of Gly were propitious to form rodlike mBiVO4 mesocrystals. Of course, the kind and concentration of reaction species in the system and the assembly force were affected by the dosage of Gly and pH value. The possible formation mechanism of the BiVO4 mesocrystals was proposed on the basis of these analyses. The optimized rodlike mBiVO4 mesocrystal prepared with 8 mL of Gly at pH 2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation activity for methylene blue (MB) under simulated sunlight irradiation, which could be attributed to its phase composition, higher surface area, stronger light absorption and 1D rodlike morphology with short L/D ratio which may increase the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes.
