Abstract
Highly permeable nanofibrous composite membranes, architected with innovative hierarchically tiered structures containing electrospun nanofibers, can enable high flux, high rejection, low energy, and low fouling water filtration. The varying functions of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds on the filtration efficiency are comprehensively reviewed. With an increase in filtration efficiency by a factor of 2-10 times when compared with commercially available counterparts, these membranes are ideal for a variety of water purification applications.
