Abstract:

This review paper was written to promote applications of electrospun nanofibers in the field of air filtration, and to report development of new nanofiber air filtration membranes with more performance advantages. The latest progress in the preparation of air filtration materials was reviewed in the areas of micro-nano-bulge, nano-spider web, layer-by-layer composite, porous, spiny, tree-like and core-shell structures by electro-spinning. The preparation methods of hierarchical micro-nano air filtration materials were analyzed, discussed and critically commented. While the progress and shortcomings of existing work were pointed out. This paper also proposed future development directions for this research area. The review concludes that the hierarchical structure is effective in functionalizing filtration materials (such as high efficiency, low resistance, high strength, flame retardant, and so on) and has better application prospects than traditional nanofiber filtration materials.

Key words: electro-spinning, hierarchical structure, nanofiber, air filtration material
