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. —Michael Strano.

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a conductive polymer coating—called HOS-PFM—that could enable longer lasting, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. At room temperature (20 ˚C), alkyl end-chains on the PFM polymer chain limit the movement of lithium ions.

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.

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 composite polymer structure holds the silicon particles together like a net and prevents them from rupturing.
