Cation-Diffusive Carbon Interlayers Stabilize Na Metal and Double the Current in Na-S Redox-Flow Batteries for Grid-Scale Energy Storage

The sodium-sulfur nonaqueous redox-flow batteries (Na-S NARFBs) using earth-abundant elements are highly attractive due to the low material cost and improved energy density for grid-scale energy storage. However, the low current performance, poor Na0/Na+ redox kinetics, and Na dendrite growth pose severe challenges. We introduce cation-diffusive layers (CDLs): thin and Na+…

Solvent-Mediated Control of Nanocellulose Dispersion: An Integrated Computational and Experimental Investigation

Fibrillated cellulose derived from forestry feedstocks represents a renewable and high-strength materials platform for circular bioeconomies. However, its practical implementation is hindered by the irreversible aggregation of nanocellulose architectures, including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). Solvent-based dispersion offers a simple and practical route to prevent CNF aggr…

Dynamic Interfacial Design in Adaptive Hybrid Materials Enables Reversible and Tunable Mechano-Optic Smart Responses

Next-generation polymeric materials are shifting toward adaptive and interactive behaviors of living systems; however, designing materials that can reversibly modulate optical properties under mechanical deformation while maintaining mechanical robustness remains a key challenge. Here, we report a mechanically robust vitrimer-based adaptive hybrid material (AHM) that exhib…

Molecular simulation and artificial intelligence for the circular economy of bioenergy and bioproducts

The concept of the circular bioeconomy is a carbon neutral, sustainable system with zero waste. One vision for such an economy is based upon lignocellulosic biomass. This lignocellulosic circular bioeconomy requires CO2 absorption from biomass growth and the efficient deconstruction of recalcitrant biomass into solubilized and fractionated biopolymers, which are then used…

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Solvent-Dependent Cellulose Nanofiber Interactions

Associations between cellulose are important both in biofuel production and in the use of cellulose for biomaterials. Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are sustainable, strong, light-weight alternatives to traditional materials in manufacturing, but are challenging to obtain due to irreversible aggregation in solution during preparative fibrillation. Therefore, it is imperative…

Nanoscale Miscibility in In Situ Polymerized Hybrid Electrolytes Speeds Up Ion Dynamics and Enables Stable Cycling of Li Metal Batteries

While the potential use of copolymerized electrolytes in Li metal batteries is subject to intense investigation, the fundamental understanding of the nanoscale domain formation and its effect on Li+ transport is still lacking. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the Li+ transport mechanism and the miscibility of monomers in polymer blend electrolytes der…

Corrosion Resistant Hot Melt Adhesive to Bind Metals

Hot melt adhesives (HMAs) play an important role in many industries, and their demand is expected to grow. HMAs don't require any solvents, and their application results in the formation of strong bonds with the substrate upon cooling within seconds. These properties differentiate them from liquid glues and make them preferable for practical application. Currently, commerc…

Additive Manufacturing with Cellulose‐Based Composites: Materials, Modeling, and Applications

Recent advances in large-scale additive manufacturing (AM) with polymer-based composites have enabled efficient production of high-performance materials. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have emerged as bio-based feedstocks due to their exceptional strength and sustainability. However, challenges such as hornification and poor dispersion in polymer matrices still limit large…

Molecular-level design of alternative media for energy-saving pilot-scale fibrillation of nanocellulose

The outstanding mechanical properties, light weight, and biodegradability of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) make them promising components of renewable and sustainable next-generation reinforced composite biomaterials and bioplastics. Manufacturing CNFs at a pilot scale requires disc-refining fibrillation of dilute cellulose fibers in aqueous pulp suspensions to shear the fi…

Precision Atomistic Structures of Actinium-/Radium-/Barium-Doped Lanthanide Nanoconstructs for Radiotherapeutic Applications

Lanthanide vanadate (LnVO4) nanoconstructs have generated considerable interest in radiotherapeutic applications as a medium for nanoscale-targeted drug delivery. For cancer treatment, LnVO4 nanoconstructs have shown promise in encapsulating and retaining radionuclides that emit alpha-particles. In this work, we examined the structure formation of LnVO4 nanoconstructs dope…

Nanoscale Stabilization Mechanism of Sodium Sulfate Decahydrate at Polyelectrolyte Interfaces

Sodium sulfate decahydrate (SSD) is a low-cost phase-change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage applications that offers substantial melting enthalpy and a suitable temperature range for near-ambient applications. However, SSD’s consistent phase separation with decreased melting enthalpy over repeated thermal cycles limits its application as a PCM. Sulfonated polyele…

Nanoscale Ion Transport Enhances Conductivity in Solid Polymer-Ceramic Lithium Electrolytes

The predictive design of flexible and solvent-free polymer electrolytes for solid-state batteries requires an understanding of the fundamental principles governing the ion transport. In this work, we establish a correlation among the composite structures, polymer segmental dynamics, and lithium ion (Li+) transport in a ceramic-polymer composite. Elucidating this structure–…
