A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have ...

Visualization of a 3D-printed pyramid displaying electrochromic behavior. Due to the different redox states of the conducting material it reversibly changes color in response to electrochemical ...

Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems—such as grid storage and electric vehicles—has been limited.

Scientists develop positive electrode material using an organic redox polymer based on phenothiazine. Aluminium-ion batteries containing this material stored an unprecedented 167 milliampere hours per ...

A recent article published in Nature Communications explored an emission mechanism in bioactive polycysteine (PCys), an aliphatic polymer exhibiting high quantum yield, polymerization- and aggregation ...

Imperial College London researchers have designed polymer electrode materials to provide better stability for lithium-ion batteries and address problems with organic electrode molecules, such as the ...

Light-based 3D printing now works with switchable redox polymer inks, enabling complex structures that change color electrochemically for advanced optoelectronic devices. The complex two- and ...
