Conductive, carbon-based membrane platforms are a promising technology for electrochemical applications such as water treatment and energy storage. However, current nanomaterial-based solutions such as carbon nanotubes often lack the performance and economic feasibility for these application requirements.

Laser-induced graphitization has been recently shown as a means to convert commercial polymers into highly-graphitic materials with a benchtop CO2 laser cutter. This talk will discuss cases in which this technique can be used for electrochemical applications to convert carbon-based feedstocks into highly-conductive membrane materials under ambient conditions, and discuss the resulting materials applications.

Attendees can join and participate in the series via Zoom.
