A paper by Assoc. Prof. Junpei Miyake, “Highly Anion Conductive Cellulose Realized by One-Step, Facile, and Effective Introduction of Ammonium and Phenyl Alkyl Groups“, published in ACS Materials Au (American Chemical Society), was selected to be featured on the front cover of the journal.
Anion conductive polymers are utilized in a variety of fields, including energy converting devices. In this paper, Dr. Miyake succeeded in the development of high performing anion conductive polymers, based on the original one-step chemical modification of biomass cellulose. Dr. Miyake commented that our research will open a new avenue for the development of environmentally friendly-anion conductive polymers, and further optimization in molecular design is our future agenda to enhance the properties of our novel cellulose AEMs (anion exchange membranes).
