A research team has developed a revolutionary two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal that overcomes major conductivity limitations in polymers. Its unique multilayered structure allows metallic ...

The study on it has covered chemical physics, interfacial phenomena, heat and mass transfer and some fundamental fields. This new material will accompany the advancing of future engineering and ...

The PI layers enable the film stacks to achieve regular out-of-plane deformations, critical for efficient heat transfer. When an electric field of 80 MV/m is applied, the polymer films compress ...

The discovery is a fundamental breakthrough in polymer research, as it opens up new possibilities for the development of more ...

the polymer layers compress (electrostriction) and release heat (electrocaloric effect). When the electric field is removed, the layers relax and absorb heat from the environment. This cycle of ...

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Highly efficient solid-state heat pumps without compressors – that is the vision of Fraunhofer researchers. With the recent completion of the ElKaWe ...
