Electrospraying (ES) is a potential‐driven process of liquid atomization, which is employed in the field of analytical chemistry, particularly as an ionization technique for mass spectrometric analyses of biomolecules. In this review, we demonstrate the extraordinary versatility of the electrospray by overviewing the specifics and advanced applications of ES‐based processing of low molecular mass compounds, biomolecules, polymers, nanoparticles, and cells. Thus, under suitable experimental conditions, ES can be used as a powerful tool for highly controlled deposition of homogeneous films or various patterns, which may sometimes even be organized into 3D structures. We also emphasize its capacity to produce composite materials including encapsulation systems and polymeric fibers. Further, we present several other, less common ES‐based applications. This review provides an insight into the remarkable potential of ES, which can be very useful in the designing of innovative and unique strategies.

电喷雾：不仅仅是一种电离源。

电喷雾 (ES) 是一种电位驱动的液体雾化过程，用于分析化学领域，特别是作为生物分子质谱分析的电离技术。在这篇综述中，我们通过概述基于 ES 的低分子量化合物、生物分子、聚合物、纳米颗粒和细胞加工的细节和先进应用，展示了电喷雾的非凡多功能性。因此，在合适的实验条件下，ES 可以用作高度受控沉积均匀薄膜或各种图案的强大工具，有时甚至可以组织成 3D 结构。我们还强调其生产复合材料的能力，包括封装系统和聚合物纤维。此外，我们还介绍了其他几个不太常见的基于 ES 的应用程序。
