E-Books →Electrospinning Technique and its Application for Solar Cells, Batteries and Biotechnology

Electrospinning is a very old technique which attracted scientific interest in recent years due to its capability of producing continuous 1D nanostructures from micrometer to nano meter range using a plethora of materials. By electrospinning, 1D nanostructures such as nanobelts, mesoporous nanofibers, nanotubes etc. can be synthesized. These electrospun nanostructures inherent properties of high porosity and high surface area owing to the precursors used during their fabrication. Initially electrospinning was chiefly used to fabricate polymeric nanostructures, but with continual research efforts and advancements in design, nanostructures of composite and inorganic materials can be synthesized. Consequently, the electrospun nanostructures are being explored for various applications such as generation of solar energy, storage of energy in batteries, tissue scaffolding for biomedical applications, biosensors etc.
This book is a compilation of research articles and reviews related to the application of various electrospun nanostructures in the field of harvesting solar energy, battery and biotechnology.
