White light emitting nanofibers constructed by electrospinning: advances and perspectives

Abstract

White light emitting nanofibers (WLENFs) have emerged as fantastic luminescent materials with significant potentials due to their high specific surface area, light weight property, thinness, excellent flexibility and air permeability. Meanwhile, electrospinning is a mature technology for fabricating nanofibers, and has been widely applied to diverse disciplines. Preparing WLENFs by electrospinning undoubtedly creates unprecedented functional materials, and may also lead to great findings. This idea has been clearly justified by numerous studies in past years. In this review, the state-of-the-art advances of WLENFs constructed by electrospinning are systematically summarized, in which organic, inorganic, and organic/inorganic hybrid WLENFs are introduced in detail. Besides, the future perspectives for achieving high performance WLENFs are also discussed. This review article is expected to stimulate more unprecedented achievements derived from WLENFs, thus further promoting their practical applications.
