Tuning the Properties of a UV-Polymerized, Cross-Linked Solid Polymer Electrolyte for Lithium Batteries
(MDPI, 2020-03-05)
Lithium metal anodes have been pursued for decades as a way to significantly increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, safety risks caused by flammable liquid electrolytes and short circuits due to ...
Structure Dependent Photostability of ITIC and ITIC-4F
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-11-01)
Strong synthetic and engineering efforts have taken the efficiency of non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) based organic solar cells above 18% in a few years. Nonetheless, a deep understanding of the fundamental properties of this ...
Isomorphic polyoxyalkylenes copolyethers obtained by copolymerization of aliphatic diols
(American Chemical Society, 2019-05-01)
Isomorphism in random copolymers occurs when comonomer units can crystallize within a single crystalline lattice in the entire composition range. This ideal behavior is rare in random copolymers and only a few examples of ...
Polyether Synthesis by Bulk Self-Condensation of Diols Catalyzed by Non-eutectic Acid Base Organocatalysts
(American Chemical Society, 2019-01-25)
Polyethers constitute a well-established class of polymers covering a wide range of applications from industrial man-ufacturing to nanomedicine. Nevertheless, their industrial implementation is limited to short chain ...
Cation Effect in the Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Coumarate Ionic Liquids and Acrylic UV-Coatings
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
Chromate free corrosion inhibitors are searched for to mitigate the economic loss caused by mid-steel corrosion. Here, we show metal-free organic inhibitors having free coumarate anions that can be used either as direct ...
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 ...
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 ...
Exclusive Substitutional Nitrogen Doping on Graphene Decoupled from an Insulating Substrate
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-08)
The on-surface synthesis of atomically flat N-doped graphene on oxidized copper is presented. Besides circumventing the almost standard use of metallic substrates for growth, this method allows producing graphene with ...
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 ...
Decoupled Ion Mobility in Nano-Confined Ionic Plastic Crystal
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)
Nanoconfined ions have dramatically different local environments compared to the bulk, which profoundly affects the ion solvation and transport properties taking place in the confined space. Herein, we investigate the ...
