Feng S, Pang J, Yu X, Wang G, Manthiram A
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces . 2017 Jul; 9(29):24527-24537. PMID: 28682586
A novel semicrystalline poly(ether ketone) (PEK)-based proton exchange membrane (semi-SPEK-x) has been developed. Through a one-step sulfonation and hydrolysis, a poly(ether ketimine) precursor transforms into PEK and ion-conducting groups are...

Yu X, Manthiram A
Chemistry . 2015 Feb; 21(11):4233-7. PMID: 25640023
A unique sodium sulfide (Na2S) cathode is developed, which will allow the use of sodium-free anodes for room-temperature sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries. To overcome the "inert" nature of the Na2S, a...
