Functionalized Bacterial Cellulose Nanofiber-Based Battery Separators
Background Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), including lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs), use lithium metal as the anode instead of the conventional graphite anode used in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), and can deliver an energy density that is significantly higher than LIBs. In LMBs, the cathode can be the conventional cathode materials used in LIBs, or...

Multifunctional Edible Nutraceutical Coating
The short shelf life of fresh produce, due in large part to microbial induced spoilage, is a serious problem that is costing the food industry billions a year. Many plants have natural phytochemicals which help confer resistance to microbial infections. Phytochemicals also have health benefits for humans, making them attractive candidates for coating...

Lithium selective organogels
Background Lithium (Li) is a highly reactive alkali metal with excellent heat and electrical conductivity properties, making it useful for a variety of industrial applications. Because of Li’s high reactivity, pure elemental Li is not found in nature but is present as a constituent of salts or other compounds found in brines, mineral ores, clays,...

Brain Targeted Nanoparticles for Therapeutic Delivery
Because the blood brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable complex, only about 2% of small molecules in the blood can penetrate it; most require transporters on the BBB. While this prevents many toxins, pathogens and other dangerous substances from crossing the BBB, it also makes it difficult to effectively treat various diseases including...
