The future of Li-ion battery manufacturing is challenged by projected shortages of critical materials and a highly centralized supply chain. Organic polymer batteries- which depend on C, H, N, O, and S elements- may address these challenges by diversifying the availability of raw battery materials while also offering a pathway toward a circular life cycle. This talk will discuss our latest efforts in understanding how these polymers store charge, how to recycle these materials, and how to improve their performance.
