• Argonne-related spinoff company charges up the battery world
  

  For America to move fully away from fossil fuels and to a more sustainable energy economy, batteries are the key ingredient. For both electric vehicles and the power grid, new battery technologies will transform the energy equation behind how we live and how we move. As part of this effort, the Join more

• USTC constructs covalent organic framework membranes with sub-2-nanometer channels
  

  Ion separation using membrane separation technology is of great importance in the fields including energy conversion and storage, environmental detection and resource reuse. Membranes with sub-2-nanometer channels have high ion transport rates but they fail to sieve different ions effectively due to more

• Fine-tuned hydrocarbon separation at low energy cost
  

  An electrochemical approach developed at KAUST produces molecular-sieving membranes that could enable a cheap energy-efficient separation of light hydrocarbons, such as olefins and paraffins. This separation, critical for the petrochemical industry, usually relies on extremely energy-intensive proce more

• Improved MOF nanoparticle recovery and purification using crosslinked PVDF membranes

  Crosslinked PVDF-membranes are demonstrated to offer a viable alternative for centrifugation in the preparation of MOF-particles, thus realising new opportunities at lab-scale and continuous production at large-scale. The membranes combine extreme-pH with solvent stability, thus enabling application more

• Elucidating Mysteries of Phase-Segregated Membranes: Mobile-Lipid Recruitment Facilitates Pores’ Passage to the Fluid Phase

  Phase segregation of multicomponent lipid bilayers leads to, under phase-coexistence conditions, domain formation, featuring delimitation by essentially one-dimensional borders. (Micro-)phase segregation of bilayers is proposed to influence the physiological behaviour of cell membranes and provides more

• Evaluation of Topologically Distinct Constrained Antimicrobial Peptides with Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity

  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short cationic peptides with a high affinity for membranes and emerged as a promising therapeutic approach with potential for treating infectious diseases. Chemical stabilization of short peptides proved to be a successful approach for enhancing their bio-physical p more
