Cellulose Membranes Replacing Forever Chemicals

RISE Researchers at the Printed Electronics Arena have recently published an article in the journal Advanced Sustainable Systems, together with the company Cellfion where they investigated cellulose membranes as the separator for electrochemical cells and supercapacitors to replace forever chemical, PFAS.

The method of manufacturing is scalable, and the performance is comparable to commercially available Nafion membranes which are the standard used today.
