A team at Stanford University has developed stable silicon Li-ion battery anodes by incorporating a conducting polymer hydrogel into the Si-based material. Silicon nanoparticles were dispersed in a solution of phytic acid and aniline in water, followed by the addition of an oxidizer. Click to enlarge. —Wu et al. Batteries'

Water flow through the membranes was 1000 times higher than predicted by Hagen-Poiseuille flow, in agreement with previous CNT membrane studies. The difficulty and high cost of making CNT membranes has confined them to university laboratories and has been frequently cited as the limiting factor in their widespread use. Mattershift.
