A comprehensive review published on Organic Polyimides (PI) for energy storage applications in Angewandte Chemie by Dr. Amey Nimkar and Dr. Netanel Shpigel. This review deals with PI chemistry for their synthesis protocols, intriguing electrochemistry, and active role in non-active components like binders, separators as well as current collectors. The review also deals with recently developed energetic materials like PI based MOF and COF. It will stimulate to use PI materials in energy storage applications for further large-scale energy storage applications. Read more at

One of the most abundant natural resources, seawater, was used for energy storage purposes. The selection of the proper electrode material is essential since seawater is a collection of ions with a range of charges and sizes. For over ten thousand cycles of consistent cycling performance, organic polyimide anodes were effectively used. Visit the article for more information
