<p>The pursuit of sustainable and high-performance energy storage solutions has led to significant advancements in the field of magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs), which are emerging as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to magnesium’s abundance, low cost, and safety. This mini-review highlights recent advancements in the application of electrospun materials for MIBs, emphasizing their role in improving electrochemical performance by addressing challenges such as dendrite formation and poor reversibility of magnesium deposition/stripping. Electrospinning technology facilitates the production of nanofibers with tunable porosity and a high surface area, which are crucial for improving ion transport and battery performance. Electrospun materials have been integrated into various components of MIBs, such as cathodes, anodes, separators, and solid-state electrolytes, to enhance their specific capacity, cycling stability, and rate capabilities. Notably, the combination of electrospun materials with conductive additives, such as reduced graphene oxide, has been shown to enhance the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the resulting fibers, thereby significantly improving overall battery performance. The review also emphasizes the scalability of electrospinning for commercial applications and the need for continued optimization of electrode materials and electrolytes to overcome current limitations. In conclusion, we outline future research directions for MIBs, highlighting the pivotal role of electrospinning technology in advancing next-generation energy storage systems, as evidenced by recent studies on electrospun nanofibers for electrochemical energy storage.</p> Graphical abstract <p></p>
