Overview of Nano-Fiber Fabrication via Electro-Spinning Tailored for Energy Storage Systems

EasyChair Preprint 5126

Abstract

The ultra-fine fibers arising from electrospinning have two significant properties, such as a large surface to volume ratio and a structure that is relatively free from defects at a molecular level. A high surface to volume ratio makes electro-spun materials suitable for undertaking activities that require a higher physical contact, including providing a site for a chemical reaction as well as the filtration of small-sized physical materials. The fibers provide sufficient storage space and also play a critical role in converting the stored energy into electrical currents by easing the transfer of electrons. However, electrospinning possesses various limitations, including difficulties in preparing inorganic nanofibers and limited quantity or variety of polymers used in the process. In this analytical study, the nano-fiber bundles' fabrication process with electrospinning and correlation between extrinsic electrospinning parameters and relative abundance of different resulted fiber morphologies tailored for energy storage systems is examined.
