CRC Press ebook Electrospinning for Advanced Energy and Environmental

Electrospinning for Advanced Energy and Environmental Applications delivers a state-of-the-art overview of the use of electrospun fibers in energy conversion and storage, as well as in environmental sensing and remediation. It first introduces electrospinning and its origins, outlining achievable one-dimensional nanoscaled materials and their applications. It then discusses the use of electrospun materials in energy devices, including low- and high-temperature fuel cells, hydrogen storage, dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. It also explores environmental applications, such as the use of electrospinning-issued materials in membranes for water and air purification, and in sensors and biosensors for pollution control.
