Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created new membranes using polyether ether ketone-based polymers with ion-cross-linkable quaternary ammonium and acidic side chains to selectively allow certain cations to pass through.
  • They explored three types of acidic groups (sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, and phenolic hydroxyl) that form ionic links in the membranes, influencing their structure and performance.
  • The study found that while cation flux improved with increased acidity, the selectivity varied, with carboxyl group membranes showing the best selectivity for lithium over magnesium, outperforming existing commercial membranes.
