Rotatable spacer increases the motions of ionic side-chain to accelerate both ion and H<sub>2</sub>O transport during fuel cell operation.
Highly alkaline stable imidazolium-type membrane has been developed for fuel cells by protection of the imidazolium ring at C2, C4 and C5 positions.
Abstract Highly cation permselective metal–organic framework (MOF) membranes are desirable for the extraction of valuable metal cations. However, fabrication defect‐free and stable MOF is technically challenging, owing to their arduous self‐assembly poor water resistance, respectively. A simple readily scalable method has been developed controlled in situ smart growth UiO‐66‐NH 2 into leaf‐like nanostructures with tunable density leaves surface layer thickness. The approach reproducibly...
A highly conductive anion exchange membrane with branched ionic clusters exhibits an excellent fuel cell performance of 266 mW cm<sup>−2</sup> at 60 °C.
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells can generate high power densities with low local emissions of pollutants. Optimal ionomer-Pt/C catalyst interactions in the electrodes enable efficient generation and transport ions electrons required for cell performances. Critical durability issues involve agglomeration Pt/C nanoparticles (Pt/C NPs) ionomer during discharging. Our novel approach involves cross-linking immobilization fabrication durable layers application alkaline anion exchange...

Bipolar membrane (BPM) has been used commercially in electrodialysis separation processes for the generation of acid and base from aqueous salt solutions electrochemical water splitting hydrogen generation. Research advances have demonstrated that, upon a sufficient applied reverse bias, molecules at junction zone BPM can dissociate into protons (H+) hydroxide anions (OH–). Therefore, stable catalytic active rapid dissociation is highly desired, but it still remains challenge current bipolar...

Aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs) are promising energy storage solutions to counteract the intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable energy. However, we have limited options electrolyte chemistry discarded many compounds because their sluggish electrochemical kinetics, which would compromise power capability an AOFB. Here, exemplified by 2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ), present two approaches including engineering molecular structure utilizing inexpensive...
Salinity gradient power (SGP) has attracted extensive research interests as a renewable energy source. Compared with generated from solar and wind, the direct adoption of SGP is currently impractical. Splitting water in salinity-gradient-power driven reverse electrodialysis appears to be an effective way utilize such energy, producing high-purity H2, which could then serve fuel or essential feedstock. However, H2 production on electrode passivated by high water-splitting voltage...
