Recent progress in electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based nanofibers for sustainable energy and environmental applications

Clean energy, water, and air are all critical to the sustainable development of humanity. Electrospun nanofibers, including nanofibrous membranes, have attracted enormous interest for energy and environmental applications, whether for energy generation and storage, or separation and purification. Electrospun polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-based nanofibers, in particular, have been extensively studied for various applications (e.g., separation membranes) due to their excellent thermal and chemical stabilities, superior mechanical strength, and excellent processability. In this review, we initially explore PVDF as a preferred material for nanofiber fabrication via electrospinning, highlighting its unique…
