This would eliminate the ionomer, which conducts ions, but also poisons catalyst sites and obstructs oxygen transport. The battery would provide a transportation energy storage solution that could be charged very fast and have a comparable energy density with the state-of-the-art lithium ion. University of Maryland.

Aza-CMPs exhibit large capacitance, high power and energy densities (approaching those of current-generation Li-ion batteries), and enable repetitive energy storage and power supply with an excellent cycle life. The nitrogen centers interact with the electrolyte ions, thus favoring the accumulation of charge and the movement of ions.
