Nanofibers can be produced by various techniques, such as a broad range of electrospinning techniques to produce nanofiber mats from different polymers or polymer blends, often filled with metallic semiconducting nanoparticles nanotechnological bottom-up top-down methods. They are important parts wide variety energy applications, batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaics, hydrogen storage materials. Usually, their physical chemical parameters measured averaging over fiber bundle part mat. Here, we report the possibility measuring and properties single nanofibers nanowires. Such measurements more complicated than investigations bundles whole and, thus, less found in literature. After fast increase between 2001 2009, numbers respective studies now stagnating. This review thus aims make possibilities visible broader scientific audience providing several examples based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) other broadly available techniques. The focus this is technologies that reveal information pure surface morphology nanowires, mechanical wettability, porosity, electrical conductivity.
