“…Electrospinning is an easy approach to produce nanofibers on a large scale, and further pyrolysis or calcination produces mesopores in these nanofibers. The formation process of mesopores in nanofibers or nanotubes was explored and basically developed from two principles . First, mesopores can be obtained by pyrolysis and carbonization of polymers, which is generally associated with mass loss during calcination or sintering.…”

“…The decomposition and volatilization of the nanofibers during pyrolysis would result in the formation of pores. Second, many foaming agents generate mesopores after thermal treatment, such as diisopropyl azodiformate (DIPA) and aluminum acetylacetonate (AACA) . These foaming agents would decompose to form mesopores.…”

In this work, the progress in the design of nonsiliceous mesoporous materials (nonSiMPMs) over the last five years from the perspectives of the chemical composition, morphology, loading, and surface modification is summarized. Carbon, metal, and metal oxide are in focus, which are the most promising compositions. Then, representative applications of nonSiMPMs are demonstrated in energy conversion and storage, including recent technical advances in dye‐sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells, photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, fuel cells, storage batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage systems. Finally, the requirements and challenges of the design and application of nonSiMPMs are outlined.

“…Carbon/silicon composite was proved to exhibit a synergistic effect [79]. For example, Si/CNFs with mesopores were prepared by electrospinning PVA, aluminum acetylacetonate (AACA) and Si in DMF solution [80]. The mesoporous structure was generated by foaming NFs via AACA sublimation.…”

With global concerns about the shortage of fossil fuels and environmental issues, the development of efficient and clean energy storage devices has been drastically accelerated. Nanofibers are used widely for energy storage devices due to their high surface areas and porosities. Electrospinning is a versatile and efficient fabrication method for nanofibers. In this review, we mainly focus on the application of electrospun nanofibers on energy storage, such as lithium batteries, fuel cells, dye-sensitized solar cells and supercapacitors. The structure and properties of nanofibers are also summarized systematically. The special morphology of nanofibers prepared by electrospinning is significant to the functional materials for energy storage.

Materials in nature have evolved to the most efficient forms and have adapted to various environmental conditions over tens of thousands of years. Because of their versatile functionalities and environmental friendliness, numerous attempts have been made to use bio‐inspired materials for industrial applications, establishing the importance of biomimetics. Biomimetics have become pivotal to the search for technological breakthroughs in the area of rechargeable secondary batteries. Here, the characteristics of bio‐inspired materials that are useful for secondary batteries as well as their benefits for application as the main components of batteries (e.g., electrodes, separators, and binders) are discussed. The use of bio‐inspired materials for the synthesis of nanomaterials with complex structures, low‐cost electrode materials prepared from biomass, and biomolecular organic electrodes for lithium‐ion batteries are also introduced. In addition, nature‐derived separators and binders are discussed, including their effects on enhancing battery performance and safety. Recent developments toward next‐generation secondary batteries including sodium‐ion batteries, zinc‐ion batteries, and flexible batteries are also mentioned to understand the feasibility of using bio‐inspired materials in these new battery systems. Finally, current research trends are covered and future directions are proposed to provide important insights into scientific and practical issues in the development of biomimetics technologies for secondary batteries.
