Poly(Vinyl Guanidine) Polymeric Materials for CO2 Capture
Background Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are one of the major contributing factors to climate change. Direct air capture (DAC) technologies extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere, and are one potential solution to combatting CO2 emissions. Poly(vinyl guanidine) (PVG) is a polymer that can be synthesized through free radical polymerization of vinyl...

A new class of fast alkali ion conductor: Inorganic plastic crystals
Batteries operate by polarizing and transferring ions through liquid or molecular solvents. Recent developments have made use of organic cation salts in plastic crystalline states as solvents, in which lithium salts can be dissolved. These lithium salts are known as electrolytes. Unfortunately, they are associated with low conductivity. Other electrolytes...
