Single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SICPE) is a safer alternative to the conventional high-performance liquid for Li-ion batteries. The performance of SICPEs-based batteries limited due low Li+ conductivities SICPEs at room temperature. Herein, we demonstrated synthesis novel SICPE, poly(ethylene-co-acrylic lithium (fluoro sulfonyl)imide) (PEALiFSI), with acrylic sulfonyl)imide anion (AFSI). solvent- and plasticizer-free PEALiFSI electrolyte, which was assembled 90 °C under pressure,...

Solid state electrolytes have stimulated research interest due to their promising application in lithium batteries with high safety. In this paper, an asymmetrical structure composite solid electrolyte consisting of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP), poly(vinylidene fluoride–hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)), succinonitrile (SN), and a polyimide (PI) film (named ACSE-PI) was fabricated successfully. This is flexible can be stable at temperature 150 °C. Moreover, it exhibits wide electrochemical...

This research demonstrated the development of a simple, cost-effective, and label-free immunosensor for detection α-synuclein (α-Syn) based on cystamine (CYS) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) decorated fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode. CYS-SAM was formed onto FTO electrode by adsorption CYS molecules through head sulfur groups. The free amine (-NH2) groups at tail enabled immobilization anti-α-Syn-antibody, which concurrently allowed formation immunocomplex covalent bonding with...

The persistent emphasis on safety issues in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with organic liquid electrolytes revolves around thermal runaway and dendrite formation. high stability non-leakage properties of polymer (PEs) make them attractive as next-generation for LIBs. This study presents a blended terpolymer electrolyte (BTPE) membrane, integrating the ionic conductivity dual ion conducting (DICPEs) elevated lithium transference number (t+) single-ion (SICPEs). BTPE was synthesized by blending...

Dropwise addition of water to blend solutions block copolymer-stabilized quantum dots (QDs) and amphiphilic copolymer stabilizing chains PS(665)-b-PAA(68) (PS = polystyrene, PAA poly(acrylic acid)) in DMF induces self-assembly form photoluminescent mesoscale QD/block colloids termed QD compound micelles (QDCMs). Here we demonstrate reproducible kinetic control QDCM particle size chain stretching within the external layer via changes initial polymer concentration rate addition. By increasing...
