Polyethylene glycol-grafted cellulose-based gel polymer electrolyte for long-life Li-ion batteries

Hongbing Zhang et al.

Summary: In recent years, highly abundant natural materials have been utilized in energy storage due to their environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness. However, the use of natural materials like cellulose as host matrices in gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) faces challenges due to strong hydrogen bonding. In this study, a green GPE film was developed by chemically grafting soft chain-polyethylene glycol (PEG) onto cellulose. The introduction of PEG significantly improved the toughness and wettability of cellulose, leading to promising potential for replacing separators and liquid electrolytes in Li-ion batteries.

Poly(ethylene glycol)s grafted celluloses as solid-solid phase change materials for different thermal energy storage application temperatures and through isophorone linkage

Ozgul Gok et al.

Summary: A series of PEGs grafted to cellulose materials are used as SSPCMs for TES, with different molecular weight PEGs showing variations in application temperatures. By using isophorone diisocyanate, PEGs are grafted to cellulose backbone through urethane linkages, characterized by FTIR-ATR, SEM, and POM techniques. DSC analysis reveals considerable thermal storage density and phase transition properties of the PEG-g-C samples for potential TES applications.

Influence of TEMPO oxidation on the properties of ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate grafted cellulose sponges

Ioana Chiulan et al.

Summary: The cellulose nanofibers (CNF) obtained through high-pressure microfluidization were oxidized with 2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) to facilitate the grafting of ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate (EGA). The analysis showed a more efficient grafting of EGA oligomers on the surface of TOCNF, resulting in increased hydrophobicity and reduced porosity. Despite a similar swelling ratio to original CNF grafted with EGA, TOCNF-EGA demonstrated good cytocompatibility and compression strength, making it suitable for applications in regenerative medicine.
