    Abstract: Provided herein are nanofibers and processes of preparing nanofibers. In some instances, the nanofibers are metal and/or ceramic nanofibers. In some embodiments, the nanofibers are high quality, high performance nanofibers, highly coherent nanofibers, highly continuous nanofibers, or the like. In some embodiments, the nanofibers have increased coherence, increased length, few voids and/or defects, and/or other advantageous characteristics. In some instances, the nanofibers are produced by electrospinning a fluid stock having a high loading of nanofiber precursor in the fluid stock. In some instances, the fluid stock comprises well mixed and/or uniformly distributed precursor in the fluid stock. In some instances, the fluid stock is converted into a nanofiber comprising few voids, few defects, long or tunable length, and the like.

    Abstract: An encapsulation system and method including a solution having a first system with a first rate of removal, a second system with a second rate of removal, and a material soluble in the first system, but not soluble in the second system. The first rate of removal is quicker than the second rate of removal, and removal of the first system from the solution creates a concentration of the second system and the material migrates around the second system. Thus, the material creates a shell around the second system, generating a capsule with a shell of the material and a core of the second system. Such material may include a polymer, copolymer, or block copolymer, while the second system is poor solvent for the material, such as hexadecane or Oil Red O. The first system is a good solvent for the material and is readily removable from solution via evaporation during processes like electrospraying.

    Abstract: Lithium ion batteries, electrodes, nanofibers, and methods for producing same are disclosed herein. Provided herein are batteries having (a) increased energy density; (b) decreased pulverization (structural disruption due to volume expansion during lithiation/de-lithiation processes); and/or (c) increased lifetime. In some embodiments described herein, using high throughput, water-based electrospinning process produces nanofibers of high energy capacity materials (e.g., ceramic) with nanostructures such as discrete crystal domains, mesopores, hollow cores, and the like; and such nanofibers providing reduced pulverization and increased charging rates when they are used in anodic or cathodic materials.
