Abstract

Electrospinning is a versatile and rapidly evolving technique that has gained significant attention for its ability to produce nanofibers with unique structures and properties. Over the past few decades, the scope of electrospun nanofibers has expanded from simple polymer fibers to more complex composites and ceramics, enabling a wide range of applications across fields such as environmental protection, biomedical engineering, energy storage, and smart materials. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements, covering material selection, process optimization, and innovative applications. We discuss the unique structural features of electrospun nanofibers, including their tunable diameters, porous architectures, and diverse compositions, which underpin their multifunctionality. Key applications are highlighted in areas including environmental protection and safety, biomedical engineering, energy storage and conversion, and catalysis, as well as emerging uses in flexible electronics, advanced engineering materials, and textiles. Additionally, we review state-of-the-art characterization techniques and discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in scaling up industrial production. Finally, we offer a forward-looking perspective on the future of electrospun nanofibers, emphasizing the need for continued innovation in both academic research and commercial applications.

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
