N2 - Membranes with asymmetric wettability have attracted significant interest by virtue of their unique transport characteristics and functionalities arising from different wetting behaviors of each membrane surface. The cross-sectional wettability distinction enables a membrane to realize directional liquid transport or multifunction integration, resulting in rapid advance in applications, such as moisture management, fog collection, oil-water separation, and membrane distillation. Compared with traditional homogeneous membranes, these membranes possess enhanced transport performance and higher separation efficiency owing to the synergistic or individual effects of asymmetric wettability. This Review covers the recent progress in fabrication, transport mechanisms, and applications of electrospun membranes with asymmetric wettability and provides a perspective on future development in this important area.
