“…For example, a number of groups have demonstrated that electrospinning allows one to maneuver the secondary structures of individual fibers as well as to increase their structural complexity. (Ostermann et al, 2006,T.S.He et al, 2010,Cao et al, 2010,Wang et al, 2008 Here we demonstrate that electrospinning and sputter coating technique can be combined to provide a simple route to formed the 3D hierarchical structural Au/TiO 2 nanofibers. The structure of samples prepared at different Au depositing time were investigated.…”

There has been exponential growth in research activities on nanomaterials and nanotechnology for applications in emerging technologies and sustainable energy in the past decade. The properties of nanomaterials have been found to vary in terms of their shapes, sizes, and number of nanoscale dimensions, which have also further boosted the performance of nanomaterial-based electronic, catalytic, and sustainable energy conversion and storage devices. This reveals the importance and, indeed, the linchpin role of nanomaterial synthesis for current nanotechnology and high-performance functional devices. In this review, we provide an overview of the synthesis strategies for designing metal oxide nanomaterials in zerodimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) forms, particularly of the selected typical metal oxides TiO2, SnO2 and ZnO. The pros and cons of the typical synthetic methods and experimental protocols are reviewed and outlined. This comprehensive review gives a broad overview of the synthetic strategies for designing "property-on-demand" metal oxide nanostructures to further advance current nanoscience and nanotechnology.

“…Environmental problems such as air and water pollution have provided the impetus for sustained fundamental and applied research in the area of environmental remediation [139][140][141][142][143][144]. With the steady and fast growing field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanostructured ceramics like zinc oxide and titanium oxide has become a promising photocatalyst for its high catalytic activity, low cost, and environmental friendliness [50,51,55,57, Electrospinning ceramic nanofibers have extremely high surface area due to its small sizes, and further provide channels for quick charge transfer due to its 1D nanostructures.…”

This paper provides a brief review of current research activities that focus on the synthesis and controlled assembly of inorganic nano bers by electrospinning, their electrical, optical and magnetic properties, as well as their applications in various areas including sensors, catalysts, batteries, filters and separators. We begin with a brief introduction to electrospinning technology and a brief method to produce ceramic nanofibers from electrospinning. We then discuss approaches to the controlled assembly and patterning of electrospun ceramic nanofibers. We continue with a highlight of some recent applications enabled by electrospun ceramic nano bers, with a focus on the physical properties of functional ceramic nanofibers as well as their applications in energy and environmental technologies. In the end, we conclude this review with some perspectives on the future directions and implications for this new class of functional nanomaterials. It is expected that this review paper can help the readers quickly become acquainted with the basic principles and particularly the experimental procedure for preparing and assembly of 1D ceramic nanofiber and its arrays.
