“…Presently, it is a common technique to fabricate various types of micro‐nanofibers . The electrospinning process is completed with a melted polymer or dissolved polymer solution; however, the process has many difficulties in terms of the required equipments and the large diameter (in the 5–25 μm range) compared with a dissolved polymer solution, since the dissolved polymer solution is widely applied . Natural polymers, blends, ceramics, metal oxides, carbon materials, and their composite can be spun into different morphologies .…”

“…Electrospinning technology has many advantages making it a distinctive method for preparing 1D nanomaterial:(1) the ability to produce large quantities of mats by modifying the compounds; (2) ability to produce 1D, 2D, and 3D fibers in μ‐nm diameters;,, (3) the ability to produce hybrid and composite nanofibers (e. g., CNTs, graphene sheets, metal oxides, and ceramic particles, etc.) with good distribution; (4) the relatively low‐operational cost and ease in parameter adjustments, and no need for specific conditions (e. g., flammable atmospheres when compared to the CVD method of producing CNTs); and (5) the final products can be followed by other chemical or thermal treatments . These advantages encourage researchers to focus on electrospinning technology as a means of facilitating the synthesis of 3D nanomaterials .…”

Carbon hierarchical nanostructures have been widely applied because of their outstanding properties and large surface area. Future energy materials for applications, such as Li‐ion, Li‐sulfur, Li‐air batteries, and supercapacitors require materials with high energy density and power capability. The preparation of three‐dimensional (3D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs)‐carbon nanofibers (CNFs) nanomaterials through a multi‐step process has many difficulties. The aggregation, the high expense of CNTs, and the difficult conditions for synthesizing CNTs have pushed researchers to consider new methods. The direct growth of CNTs on CNFs via one‐step electrospinning and a combined pyrolysis process is an efficient method for preparing 3D CNTs‐CNFs, as demonstrated in the literature. Herein, the importance of the hybrid 3D CNTs‐CNFs nanomaterials is reviewed, as well as their growth mechanisms, and the parameter influence on the morphology of grown CNTs. Moreover, the performance of the electrochemical energy storage for the hybrid CNTs grown on CNFs in the literature is reviewed and explained. Finally, the nanomaterials form the CNTs grown CNFs have great potential for various applications.

“…Among the energy storage systems, supercapacitors and energy harvesting systems have specific attentions. Carbon-based NFs have been considered promising electrodes for advanced electrical energy storage systems, e.g., rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors, because of their high conductivity, good mechanical integrity, and large surface area [166]. Hence, Wang et al [29] applied electrospun CNFs substrates coated with a uniform ceramic MnO 2 ultrathin layer by dip coating method for using in electrochemical capacitors.…”

Ceramic nanofibers (NFs) have recently been developed for advanced applications due to their unique properties. In this article, we review developments in electrospun ceramic NFs with regard to their fabrication process, properties, and applications. We find that surface activity of electrospun ceramic NFs is improved by post pyrolysis, hydrothermal, and carbothermal processes. Also, when combined with another surface modification methods, electrospun ceramic NFs result in the advancement of properties and widening of the application domains. With the decrease in diameter and length of a fiber, many properties of fibrous materials are modified; characteristics of such ceramic NFs are different from their wide and long (bulk) counterparts. In this article, electrospun ceramic NFs are reviewed with an emphasis on their applications as catalysts, membranes, sensors, biomaterials, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, energy harvesting systems, electric and magnetic parts, conductive wires, and wearable electronic textiles. Furthermore, properties of ceramic nanofibers, which enable the above applications, and techniques to characterize them are briefly outlined.

MoO 2 @N-doped C nanofibers (MoO 2 @NC NFs) were synthesized by electrospinning with polyacrylonitrile as carbon source. The in situ formed MoO 2 nanocrystals are completely embedded in the carbon nanofibers, which can not only accelerate ion transition, but also act as a buffer to avoid the mechanical degradation of active material due to the volume changes during charge/discharge cycling. When used as the anode material for both Li/Na-ion batteries, the as-synthesized MoO 2 @NC NFs displayed excellent Li + /Na + storage properties. As the anode for Li-ion battery, the MoO 2 @NC NFs display a high discharge capacity of 930 mA h g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 for 100 cycles, and 720 mA h g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 for 600 cycles. Moreover, the discharge capacity of 350 mA h g −1 could be realized at a current density of 100 mA g −1 for 200 cycles for Na-ion battery.
