Abstract
As energy demands increase, improvements in energy storage and conversion technology become critical to meet the needs of society. The performance capabilities and lifetime of energy devices are highly dependent on the materials processing and the final nanoarchitectures. Novel 1approaches in materials and processing lead to higher efficiency, improved performance, and reduced cost and are applied to both new, promising technologies as well as mature, reliable technologies. One‐dimensional (1D) nanomaterials show great promise for energy applications owing to their high aspect ratios among other advantageous properties. Electrospinning offers a simple approach toward advanced energy nanomaterials with endless possibilities of structure–composition combinations. The benefits and potential of electrospun nanofibers in energy devices are of great scientific interest and have been established by countless researchers. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate the utility of electrospun nanofibers in advancing energy storage and conversion devices, specifically rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and photovoltaic cells, as well as to highlight key process–structure–property relationships in various nanofiber‐based energy materials.
