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 ...
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 ...
Toxicity to sea urchin embryos of crude and bunker oils weathered under ice alone and mixed with dispersant
(Elsevier, 2022)
[EN] A multi-index approach (larval lenghthening and malformations, developmental disruption, and genotoxicity) was applied using sea-urchin embryos as test-organisms. PAH levels measured in the under-ice weathered aqueous ...
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 ...
Comparative assessment of control strategies for the biradial turbine in the Mutriku OWC plant
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-02)
To be competitive against other renewable energy sources, energy converted from the ocean waves needs to reduce its associated levelised cost of energy. It has been proven that advanced control algorithms can increase power ...
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 ...
