Project Details
Description
Nanocellulose is investigated as a sustainable alternative to PFAS-based electrolyte materials. Nanocellulose is formed into membranes of varying thickness, and the chemical and physical properties characterised. The effect of cross-linking with e.g. sulfosuccinic acid on mechanical strength and proton conductivity is monitored. The membranes are then incorporated into electrochemical cells and the performance monitored.
