Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers which form one-dimensional chains. Until now, scientists had believed it was impossible to induce polymers to form 2D sheets.

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, SINTEF in Norway and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, has developed a polymer membrane technology that removes carbon dioxide from mixed gases with both high permeability and high selectivity. A paper on their work is published in the journal Science.

Researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have improved the performance of silicon anodes in LIBs using a self-healing composite polymer binder for the silicon particles. The results of the study are published in ACS Applied Energy Materials. The new binder improves stability and maintains a thin SEI layer.

The binder material—a novel aqueous borate type bio-based polymer with inherent Li + ions designed as an SEI forming binder for graphite—leads to improved diffusion of desolvated Li + ions across the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and within the anode material and yields high conductivity, low impedance, and good stability.

The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light. Photosynthesis is the process by which chloroplasts in plants and some organisms use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create food or energy.
