Chemical Upcycling of PET Waste towards Terephthalate Redox Nanoparticles for Energy Storage
(MDPI, 2021-11-03)
Over 30 million ton of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is produced each year and no more than 60% of all PET bottles are reclaimed for recycling due to material property deteriorations during the mechanical recycling ...
Single-ion lithium conducting polymers with high ionic conductivity based on borate pendant groups
(Wiley, 2021-12-29)
This communication reports a family of single-ion lithium conducting polymer electrolytes based on highly delocalized borate groups is reported. The effect of the nature of the substituents on the boron atom on the ionic ...
Organic batteries based on just redox polymers
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Redox-active polymers have gained interest as environmentally friendly alternative to inorganic materials in applications such as electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. All-polymer batteries were first disregarded with ...
3D Scaffolds Based on Conductive Polymers for Biomedical Applications
(ACS Publications, 2019-01-14)
3D scaffolds appear to be a cost-effective ultimate answer
for biomedical applications, facilitating rapid results while providing an
environment similar to in vivo tissue. These biomaterials offer large
surface areas ...
Innovative Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids and Polymers for Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries
(ACS, 2019-02-25)
Electrolytes based on organic solvents used in current Li-ion batteries are not compatible with the next-generation energy storage technologies including those based on Li metal. Thus, there has been an increase in research ...
Innovative Polymers for Next‐Generation Batteries
(Wiley, 2020-01-23)
Lithium-ion batteries are part of modern life, being present in daily-used objects such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, watches, sport accessories, electric scooters, and cars. The next-generation batteries require ...
Emerging Ionic Soft Materials based on Deep Eutectic Solvents
(ACS, 2020-07-21)
In the last five years, the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been opening new perspectives towards the creation of novel ionic soft materials as alternatives to expensive ionic liquids. This Mini-Review highlights ...
Tailored CO2-philic Anionic Poly(ionic liquid) Composite Membranes: Synthesis, Characterization and Gas Transport Properties
(ACS, 2020-03-25)
Polymeric membranes either containing, or built from, ionic liquids (ILs) are of great interest for enhanced CO2/light gas separation due to the stronger affinity of ILs toward quadrupolar CO2 molecules, and hence, high ...
Elastic and Thermoreversible Iongels by Supramolecular PVA/Phenol Interactions
(Wiley, 2020-06-28)
Iongels have attracted much attention over the years as ion-conducting soft materials for applications in several technologies including stimuli-responsive drug release and flexible (bio)electronics. Nowadays, iongels with ...
Influence of Anion Structure on Thermal, Mechanical and CO2 Solubility Properties of UV-Cross-Linked Poly(ethylene glycol) Diacrylate Iongels
(MDPI, 2020-03-17)
Iongel-based CO2 separation membranes were prepared by fast (< 1 min) UV-initiated polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) in the presence of different ionic liquids (ILs) with the [C2mim]+ cation and ...
