OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

Applying an electrical potential to the conducting polymer membrane alters the redox state, allows it to conduct ions across the membrane. The team reported a maximum conductance of 30 µS cm -1 and a current gain of 60x as the polymer switches between oxidized and reduced states. 9, 2555-2562 doi: 10.1039/C6EE01448H.

We next trained the gerbils to respond to an auditory stimulus, teaching them to avoid a certain area when they heard a tone.
