Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage systems because of their considerable energy density and intrinsic safety. Nonetheless, the severe dendrite growth of the Zn anode, the serious degradation of the cathode, and the boundedness of separators restrict the application of AZIBs. Fortunately, electrospinning nanofibers demonstrate huge potential and bright prospects in constructing AZIBs with excellent electrochemical performance due to their controllable nanostructure, high conductivity, and large specific surface area (SSA). In this review, we first briefly introduce the principles and processing of the electrospinning technique and the structure design of electrospun fibers in AZIBs. Then, we summarize the recent advances of electrospinning nanofibers in AZIBs, including the cathodes, anodes, and separators, highlighting the nanofibers' working mechanism and the correlations between electrode structure and performance. Finally, based on insightful understanding, the prospects of electrospun fibers for high-performance AZIBs are also presented.
