Application of Electrospun Materials in Batteries

Kondawar, Subhash B. / Bhute, Monali V.

For high energy storage application, rechargeable batteries are gain more prominence in recent year due to its excellent electrochemical performance. Advanced rechargeable batteries are the need of today's era because demands for energy consumption increases gradually. The electrospun nanofibers material can be the good alternative to commercial electrode and separator due to its extraordinary qualities like large aspect ratio, highly porous nature, and good mechanical strength. Electrospinning is efficient technique to fabricate polymeric composites nanofibers. Electrospun nanofibrous porous electrode can exhibit excellent discharge current and rate capability. Also, electrospun nanofibrous electrolyte cum‐separator can be used not only avoid the short circuit between the electrodes but also allow the ions freely through them. Here, we provide extensive summary of the application of electrospun polymer nanofibers as advanced materials in rechargeable batteries. Also, we highlight the recent development of the electrospun one dimensional nanostructure (nanofibers) useful for lithium ion battery components as anodes, cathodes, and separators. Furthermore, in conclusion, short overview of electrospun nanofibers application in advanced battery and challenges and prospects of electrospun nanofibers are also discussed.
