Overview
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.

Author Information
Dr. Sara Cavaliere has been assistant professor at the University of Montpellier in the Laboratory for Aggregates, Interfaces and Materials for Energy–Charles Gerhardt Institute for Molecular Chemistry and Materials since 2009. After graduating in chemistry from the University of Milan, Italy, she received her Ph.D. in chemistry and materials science in 2006 in Versailles, France. She carried out postdoctoral research work at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and the University of Lyon, France. In 2012, she was awarded an ERC starting grant (project SPINAM) on the use of electrospinning for the elaboration of integrated membrane-electrode assemblies for energy devices. Her research interests focus on the design and preparation of nanostructured and nanofibrous materials for energy conversion and storage applications.
