Article Synopsis
  • Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is crucial for producing carbon fiber, with 90% of the market depending on PAN-based polymers.
  • Traditional PAN synthesis has drawbacks, such as broad molecular weight distributions and the use of toxic solvents, while controlled radical polymerization methods struggle with low efficiency and inadequate molecular weights.
  • The study introduces an innovative aqueous photoiniferter (aqPI) polymerization technique that achieves high monomer conversion and superior PAN characteristics, enhancing control over properties vital for improved carbon fiber production.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains an important fixture in biological and synthetic systems for energy conversion and chemical functionalization. Late transition metals continue to dominate in the development of new catalyst systems, inspired by well-characterized metallocofactors and prior successes. By comparison, metals to the left of Fe on the periodic table are relatively understudied for the ORR.
