Electrospinning technology has been an important method in the preparation of 1D nanostructured electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its advantages of the simplicity and versatility. A mass of research articles have reported that the electrochemical performance of electrospun electrode materials can be improved, but systematic and targeted corresponding reviews are still very limited. Carbon, the most mature commercialized anode materials, and silicon, the anode materials with the highest theoretical capacity, have attracted huge interests from the academia and industry. However, the low theoretical capacity of carbon and large volume change of silicon have extremely hindered their further broad application and development. Excitingly, the electrospinning technology is proved to be a very effective method to address the above issues. In this review, we systematically summarize the application and development of electrospun anode nanomaterials for LIBs and SIBs, especially the silicon- and carbon-based nanofibers. More importantly, a detailed introduction and proper discussion of nanomaterials from the principle of electrospinning, design and synthesis of silicon and carbon nanomaterials, modulation and optimization of microstructure, and preparation of nano-composite to the improvement of electrochemical property is given. Finally, the challenges of electrospinning technology in mass production and the possible development tendency are also pointed out. This review would be helpful in the design and preparation for advanced energy-storage materials, especially for the silicon- and carbon-based nanostructured electrode materials.
