Melt-blown nonwoven materials have shown significant advancements in a multitude of industrial sectors, mainly due to their high production efficiency, extensive specific surface area, and narrow aperture. The demand for melt-blown nonwoven materials has increased further in recent time, particularly in the wake of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. We systematically summarize the main research advancements and applications of melt-blown nonwoven technology in the last few years. First, this review describes the principles and processes of melt-blown nonwoven that govern the production of micro/nano fibers. Additionally, we reviewed the evolution of melt-blown raw materials and process technology. Next, the review highlights the extensive use of melt-blown nonwoven materials in key fields, including media filtration, oil-water separation, heavy metal ions adsorption, organic pollutants removal and new energy. With an analysis of the current challenges in the research and applications of melt-blown nonwoven, we suggest potential future research directions which could provide valuable references and guidance for the sustainable and healthy development of melt-blown nonwoven.
