This paper presented a self-made spherical section free surface electrospinning (SSFSE) using solution reservoirs with different depths for obtaining high-throughput production of nanofibers, and studied its preparation mechanism. The effects of the solution reservoir depth on the SSFSE process as well as the quality and yield of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were investigated experimentally using high-speed camera, precise electronic balance and scanning electron microscopy, and were analyzed theoretically by response surface methodology (RSM) and numerical simulation. The values predicted by the established RSM model and the electric field simulation results obtained by Maxwell 3D were all consistent with the experimental data, which showed that the solution reservoir depth had little effects on the quality of PAN nanofibers, but had great effects on the yields of them. When the maximum depth of solution reservoir was 4.29 mm, the PAN nanofibers prepared have the best quality and the highest yields.

Four different self-made free surface electrospinning (FSE) devices, namely, modified bubble-electorspinning (MBE) device, modified free surface electorspinning (MFSE) device, oblique section free surface electorspinning (OSFSE) device and spherical section free surface electrospinning (SSFSE) device, were presented to obtain high-throughput preparation of high quality nanofibers in this paper. The preparation mechanisms of these four FSE device were studied by simulating the electric field distribution using Maxwell 3D, due to the importance of electric field in the FSE process. And the effects of them on the morphology and yield of nanofibers were investigated by experiments. The experimental data agreed with the simulation results of electric field, and showed these four FSE device all could be used to prepare high quality nanofibers in large quantities. Meanwhile, comparing the spinning effects of these four FSE device, the results illustrated the SSFSE device was the optimal FSE device because of the highest quality and yield of nanofibers, and its yield could reach 20.03 g/h at the applied voltage of 40 kV.

Four different self-made free surface electrospinning (FSE) techniques, namely, modified bubble-electrospinning (MBE), modified free surface electrospinning (MFSE), oblique section free surface electrospinning (OSFSE) and spherical section free surface electrospinning (SSFSE), designed for high-throughput preparation of high-quality nanofibers, are presented in this paper. The mechanisms of fiber preparation of the corresponding four FSE devices were studied by simulating the electric field distribution using the Maxwell 3D software. The properties of the electric field in the device are very important for the FSE process. The effects of the particular technique on the morphology and the yield of nanofibers were experimentally investigated. The experimental data agree well with the results of the simulations and show that all four FSE devices can be used to prepare large quantities of high-quality nanofibers. A comparison of the spinning mechanisms of these four FSE devices illustrates that the SSFSE device performs best, providing the highest quality and yield of nanofibers. The SSFE device could yield 20.03 g/h of nanofibers at an applied voltage of 40 kV.
