Researchers, led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania, have used a polymer-folding mechanism to develop a new and versatile kind of solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) that currently offers proton conductivity faster than Nafion by a factor of 2, the benchmark for fuel cell membranes.

The streamlined Eos Z3 battery module design features an aqueous electrolyte, bipolar electrodes, and a polymer casing. Conductive plastic anodes (-) and carbon-felt cathodes (+) make up the Z3 electrodes. They’re mechanically tough, corrosion-resistant, and chemically stable, delivering for years with virtually no degradation.

Polymer-based materials can become electrochemically unstable on repeated use. While coating surfaces with carbon nanomaterials can reduce help, it can add to the bulkiness of devices, and also cause in vivo complications. And then the other challenge would definitely be translation of those materials into actual applications."

Waste tires fall within the definition of post-consumer plastic waste according to DIN EN ISO 14021:2016-07. In addition, they have a lower carbon footprint than conventional products. The co-operation will thus serve to close the loop for post-consumer plastic waste.

The study has revealed that fiber-reinforced polymer components with structural foam ribbing and reinforcements can save more than 40 kg of weight per car vs. conventional all-metal designs. With the optimized structural hybrid design, the buckling (displacement) of the door panel under load was effectively minimized.

In a new study led by researchers from TU Dresden , researchers created a system made from networks of tiny polymer fibers that, when submerged in a solution meant to replicate the inside of the human body, function as organic transistors. In this way, you can control the number of ions which are in the polymer [fibers] or the electrolyte.

Also, the biobased BDO pathway consumes carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), resulting in a reduction of 70% in CO 2 emissions. Because the chemical industry uses approximately 8% of the world’s fossil fuels, Genomatica’s technology has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by hundreds of millions of tons percent annually.
