Advanced Electrospun Nanofibers for Photocatalytic Degradation: Sustainable Solutions for Wastewater Remediation.
Review in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The growing contamination of water resources from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, medical sources, and domestic sources demands an advanced, sustainable solution in wastewater remediation. Photocatalysis is a widely used technique for treating wastewater by degrading complex pollutants into simpler compounds such as carbon dioxide and water. Electrospun nanofibers have emerged as a versatile material for wastewater remediation, offering a high surface area, interconnected porosity, and tunable functionalization. This review presents details on photocatalyst-based electrospun nanofibers for the degradation of various pollutants, with emphasis on sustainable practices. Various electrospinning-assisted synthesis routes, such as blending, core-sheath, and emulsion electrospinning, which include the encapsulation of photocatalysts during the electrospinning process, with respective case studies, are presented. The review also presents post-fabrication techniques, including dip coating, sputtering, spray coating, and cross-linking. The application of electrospun nanofibers for the degradation of various physical, chemical, biological, radiological, and other emerging pollutants is investigated. The review highlights novel photocatalyst integration strategies along with an assessment of the environmental impact and life cycle of photocatalyst-incorporated electrospun nanofibers. Sustainable approaches are proposed, including green routes for the synthesis of photocatalysts, the use of biodegradable polymers, eco-friendly solvents, green cross-linkers, cross-linker-free synthesis methods, harnessing solar energy, and the use of AI, ML, and IoT in optimizing electrospinning parameters. Finally, challenges such as process scale-up, mass production of nanofibers, and process time are addressed along with recent innovations. The findings provide state-of-the-art solutions for wastewater remediation using electrospun nanofibers supporting environmental sustainability, offering chances to upgrade from conventional to new techniques and emphasizing the emerging avenues for large-scale applications.
