Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The energy issue is a challenge that has existed for decades and is expected to continue for a long time into the future. Specifically, determining how to efficiently store energy is an important issue facing humankind, and using green biomass resources for energy storage can be an effective way to solve this problem.

With the development of science and technology, functional fibers have not only become the development direction and trend of the textile industry, but the development of new functional fibers is one of the hot topics today. Polymer fibers with a unique structure and easy functional modification have become a popular material in the field of energy storage.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in efficient fabrication, structural characterization, and low-light performance of polymeric fiber materials for energy storage applications. The areas of interest include but are not limited to synthesis, preparation innovation, microstructure design, energy storage performance improvement mechanism, and the application of polymer fibers in energy storage.

The editors are pleased to launch this Special Issue and invite researchers to contribute their original research papers and reviews associated with “Polymer Fibers for Energy Storage”.

Polyaniline fibers were prepared in the presence of anionic surfactant in an ice medium to nucleate in one dimension and were compared to bulk polyaniline prepared at an optimum temperature. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the structural analysis of the prepared samples. A conductivity study reveals that polyaniline fibers have high conductivity compared to bulk polyaniline. Hydrogen storage measurements confirm that the polyaniline fibers adsorbed approximately 86% of the total actual capacity of 8–8.5 wt% in less than 9 min, and desorption occurs at a lower temperature, releasing approximately 1.5 wt% of the hydrogen gases when the pressure is reduced further to 1 bar.
