Active monomers: Grafting soluble organic molecules onto insoluble, high-surface-area substrates, e.g. calixquinones on nanoparticles (see pciture), allows the production of a wide range very stable materials for lithium-ion battery applications. Immobilization avoids problem dissolution, which has previously led to performance degradation.
