Abstract

AbstractNanofibers have been synthesized by many methods due to its numerous applications. This article provides a thorough introduction to electrospinning here, including its history, various production techniques, common materials, and potential uses, most notably in energy storage. Electrospinning, a simple and low‐cost process, can be used to effectively manufacture nanofibers. While the method of electrospinning has been known for over a half‐century, current understanding of the process and the parameters that determine the qualities of the fibers produced by it is quite limited. This is extremely advantageous for energy devices including electrochemical (bio) sensors that give increased solar‐electric energy conversion efficiency. Apart from energy, other applications related to drug delivery, filter media and membrane like are also discussed. This article covers current advances in electrospun nanofibers, with an emphasis on their synthesis and applications.
