“…The electrospinning process can be made more energy-efficient by adopting the following strategies: (i) use of direct-current electrospinning instead of traditional high voltage electrospinning as a comparatively lesser voltage is used making the process energy efficient [ 168 , 169 ]; (ii) powering the electrospinning equipment using renewable energy resources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, which can reduce the carbon footprint of the electrospinning process [ 170 , 171 ]; (iii) usage of renewable or biodegradable materials to prepare the fibers as these materials can be broken down in the environment, reducing the amount of energy needed for disposal [ 172 , 173 ]; (iv) to achieve appropriate end-of-life disposal of the electrospun fibers by recycling or composting the fibers as it can reduce the amount of energy required for disposal; (v) reusing the syringe after flushing the polymer melt left after processing using the appropriate solvent [ 174 ]; (vi) optimize the process by reducing the waste generated or recycling excess material that is not used in the fiber-formation process [ 175 ].…”

Electronic devices commonly use rechargeable Li-ion batteries due to their potency, manufacturing effectiveness, and affordability. Electrospinning technology offers nanofibers with improved mechanical strength, quick ion transport, and ease of production, which makes it an attractive alternative to traditional methods. This review covers recent morphology-varied nanofibers and examines emerging nanofiber manufacturing methods and materials for battery tech advancement. The electrospinning technique can be used to generate nanofibers for battery separators, the electrodes with the advent of flame-resistant core-shell nanofibers. This review also identifies potential applications for recycled waste and biomass materials to increase the sustainability of the electrospinning process. Overall, this review provides insights into current developments in electrospinning for batteries and highlights the commercialization potential of the field.

In the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has emerged as a potentially game-changing innovation. Essential minerals are mostly unavailable in modern cropping systems without the application of synthetic fertilizers, which have a serious negative impact on the ecosystem. This review focuses on the coupling of nanoparticles with biofertilizers to function as nano-biofertilizers (NBFs), which may ensure world food security in the face of the rising population. The inoculation of plants with NBFs improves plant development and resistance to stress. Metallic nanoparticles as well as organic components comprising polysaccharide and chitosan may be encapsulated, utilizing microbe-based green synthesis to make NBFs, which circumvents the limitations of conventional chemical fertilizers. The application of NBFs is just getting started, and shows more promise than other approaches for changing conventional farming into high-tech “smart” farming. This study used bibliographic analysis using Web of Science to find relevant papers on “nano biofertilizers”, “plants”, and “agriculture”. These subjects have received a lot of attention in the literature, as shown by the co-citation patterns of these publications. The novel use of nanotechnology in agriculture is explored in this research work, which makes use of the unique characteristics of nanoscale materials to address urgent concerns including nutrient delivery, crop protection, and sustainable farming methods. This study attempts to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge by discussing the formulation, fabrication, and characterization of NBFs, as well as elucidating the mechanisms by which NBFs interact with plants and how this benefits the ability of the plant to withstand biotic and abiotic stress brought about by climate change. This review also addresses recent developments and future directions in farming using NBF formulations in the field.

Nanosponges (NS) have emerged as a groundbreaking solution to a myriad of formulation-related challenges in drug delivery. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding for scientists engaged in nanotechnology by exploring the preparation, characterization, and diverse applications of NS. Additionally, we delve into patent information, shedding light on innovative approaches and intellectual property landscapes surrounding Nanosponges technology. The evolution of Nanosponges marks a significant advancement in overcoming formulation obstacles. Resembling small sponges at the scale of viruses, these carriers can be loaded with a wide array of pharmaceuticals. Navigating through the bloodstream, they precisely target specific areas within the body, adhering to surfaces and initiating controlled and predictable drug release. The localized delivery capability of Nanosponges enhances the effectiveness of medications, as they concentrate at designated sites, optimizing therapeutic outcomes. A pivotal characteristic of Nanosponges is their liquid solubility, enabling efficient utilization for drugs with low solubility. The fluidic nature of these systems contributes to their versatility and applicability in addressing challenges associated with poorly soluble medications. Through an exploration of patents, this review offers insights into the intellectual property landscape, revealing innovative strategies, applications, and future directions of Nanosponges in drug delivery. In summary, this comprehensive review amalgamates current scientific knowledge with patent-related information, providing a holistic perspective on Nanosponges. This review becomes a helpful resource for researchers in the dynamic field of nanotechnology and drug delivery by illuminating formulation methodologies, evaluating patent landscapes, and forecasting future developments.
