In-depth analysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane fabrication has revealed how to unlock ion-selective transport in these materials 1. Precise control over ion movement could prove ...

You probably recognise equation 1 as the Nernst equation. This equation defines the relation between the concentrations of an ion on either side of a membrane that it perfectly selective for that ion ...

This is an achievement that traditional membrane technologies have been ... The findings also suggest potential applications ...

To do that, we'll need to figure out how to select a binding site that is selective for our target ion, and how we should pattern those binding sites within the membrane material so that we can ...

For the development of ion-conducting ... poorly selective towards redox-active molecules and are produced by environmentally damaging processes that involve the use of poly-fluoroalkyl substances, ...
