- An operationally broadened alkaline water electrolyser enabled by highly stable poly(oxindole biphenylene) ion-solvating membranes (2024) · Nature Energy · cited 104× · doi
The existing gap in water electrolysis technologies is the lack of highly stable ion-solvating membranes. The high cost of precious metal-catalysts and the alkaline instability of anion-exchange-membranes limit their operational flexibility.
