Abstract With the advancement of nanoscience and technology, various nanomaterials like nanocellulose, carbon nanotube, graphene nanosheet and metal nanorod are gradually coming into people’s view. Based on the special nanometer effect, nanomaterials exhibit physical or chemical properties those conventional macroscopical materials do not have, which have been developed rapidly in the various fields of science. Among them, high-performance nanoscale building blocks such as aramid nanofibers (ANFs) are one of the research hotspots. However, it is quite difficult to achieve the nanoscale preparation of aramid fibers due to their characteristics like high strength and modulus, high crystallinity and excellent corrosion resistance. Therefore, it really remains an urgent need to seek for a simple, quick and effective ANFs preparation technique to achieve the functionalization, high-performance and multipurpose utilization of the intersection of various scientific fields of ANFs. At present, there are just a few available techniques to prepare ANFs, which can be mainly divided into top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top two strategies. The top-to-bottom strategy refers to the electrospinning, rotary jet-spinning, mechanical disintegration synergized by alkaline and alkaline dissolution, whilst the bottom-to-top strategy points to the polymerization assisted by dispersion. Among these ANFs preparation techniques, alkaline dissolution is the most widely used one which has not only achieved the efficient and controllable preparation of ANFs, but also has better retained the advantages of aramid fibers in terms of structure and performance. Combined with the dual advantages of excellent performances of aramid fiber and special nanoscale effects of nanofiber, ANFs can effectively solve the problems of high chemical inertness, low reactive activity and poor interfacial adhesion of aramid fibers as a novel nanoscale building block. This makes ANFs display promising prospects in composite reinforcement, battery separator, adsorption filtration, electrical insulation and flexible electrode fields. Nevertheless, some problems also exist in the preparation and application of ANFs: first, ANFs preparation techniques still has the difficulty in their long preparation period, high energy consumption, large fiber size and low film forming strength; the application studies of ANFs are still in the laboratory research stage, and there is still a long distance to achieve their real scale, functionalization and utilization of high-performance. This review focuses on the research progress of ANFs. Firstly, the preparation techniques of ANFs are introduced. Then the applications of ANFs in various fields are analyzed, and we present the main problems that ANFs are facing and some prospects are given. The purpose of this work is to offer a reference for the low energy consumption but high efficiency preparation and high-value utilization of ANFs.
