Limitations and solutions of nanofiber technology to use in energy application.

Limitations Solution Reference
Cost The increase of industrial scale production devices reduces the price of nanofiber webs 85–87
Un-spinnability Using polymer mixture or using additives can help to fabricate nanofiber web 88 and 89
Defect-free surface Optimizing both system and process parameters is essential to prevent uneven web surface, which can lead to energy generation failure 90–92
Low conductivity The conductivity can be improved by using conductive polymers, carbon nanofibers, or additives 32 and 93–95
Biocompatibility Focusing on biocompatible polymers and using non-toxic chemicals can be the solution 96–98
Stability Using chemical resistance nanofiber webs such as PVDF or PSU are beneficial to enhance stability and durability under acidic and alkaline conditions 39 and 99
