This state-of-the-art overview emphasizes electrospinning technique and resulting electrospun nanofibers and nanofibrous membranes. Consequently, the electrospinning method as well as the formation and features of the electrospun nanofiber/membrane nanomaterials have been described. Properties of the electrospun nanofibers have found to be enhanced several folds through the incorporation of carbon nanoparticles in the nanofibers. Important properties and utilizations of carbon nanocomposite electrospun nanofibers were seemed to be affected by nanoparticle amount and dispersal. Importantly, diameter, microstructure, and physical features (thermal, mechanical, conductive, etc.) of the nanofibers and resulting membranes can be affected by the nanofiller behavior. The high performance electrospun nanofibers have been used to form efficient nanocomposite nanofibrous membranes. Sequentially, the electrospun nanocomposite nanofibrous membranes have been applied in technical membrane applications.

“…To realize such flexible devices, electrolytes, a polymeric separator, bendable electrodes, and the device case, among other items, are required. For electrodes, CNF mats are believed to be among the highly promising materials capable of producing free-standing flexible electrodes due to their interconnected structure integrity, chemical stability, and electronic conductivity [4]. Benefiting from these inherent characteristic features of CNF, many material scientists have reported the development of numerous composite CNF-mats-based electrodes for making flexible Li-ion, Na-ion, and Li-S batteries, as well as supercapacitors and other energy storage devices [5,6].…”

Carbon nanofiber (CNF) films or mats have great conductivity and thermal stability and are widely used in different technological processes. Among all the fabrication methods, electrospinning is a simple yet effective technique for preparing CNF mats, but the electrospun CNF mats are often brittle. Here, we report a feasible protocol by which to control the alignment of carbon black nanoparticles (CB NPs) within CNF to enhance the flexibility. The CB NPs (~45 nm) are treated with non-ionic surfactant Triton-X 100 (TX) prior to being blended with a solution containing poly(vinyl butyral) and polyacrylonitrile, followed by electrospinning and then carbonization. The optimized CB-TX@CNF mat has a boosted elongation from 2.25% of pure CNF to 2.49%. On the contrary, the untreated CB loaded in CNF displayed a lower elongation of 1.85% because of the aggregated CB spots created weak joints. The controlled and uniform dispersion of CB NPs helped to scatter the applied bending force in the softness test. This feasible protocol paves the way for using these facile surface-treated CB NPs as a commercial reinforcement for producing flexible CNF films.

A unique method for synthesizing a surface modifier for metallic hydrogen permeable membranes based on non-classic bimetallic pentagonally structured Pd-Pt nanoparticles was developed. It was found that nanoparticles had unique hollow structures. This significantly reduced the cost of their production due to the economical use of metal. According to the results of electrochemical studies, a synthesized bimetallic Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag modifier showed excellent catalytic activity (up to 60.72 mA cm−2), long-term stability, and resistance to COads poisoning in the alkaline oxidation reaction of methanol. The membrane with the pentagonally structured Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag modifier showed the highest hydrogen permeation flux density, up to 27.3 mmol s−1 m−2. The obtained hydrogen flux density was two times higher than that for membranes with a classic Pdblack/Pd-Ag modifier and an order of magnitude higher than that for an unmodified membrane. Since the rate of transcrystalline hydrogen transfer through a membrane increased, while the speed of transfer through defects remained unchanged, a one and a half times rise in selectivity of the developed Pd-Pt/Pd-Ag membranes was recorded, and it amounted to 3514. The achieved results were due to both the synergistic effect of the combination of Pd and Pt metals in the modifier composition and the large number of available catalytically active centers, which were present as a result of non-classic morphology with high-index facets. The specific faceting, defect structure, and unusual properties provide great opportunities for the application of nanoparticles in the areas of membrane reactors, electrocatalysis, and the petrochemical and hydrogen industries.
