Membranes with high ion selectivity and conductivity are critical for the wide application of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. Herein, functional molecular cross-linked two-dimensional zeolite nanosheets (ZN) with -NH 2 and -SO 3 H groups are prepared and incorporated into sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) polymer matrix. These embedded nanosheets act as strong barrier to vanadium ions, while their internal pores provide transport channels for protons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
