“…Spectral modification in the region 1500–899 cm −1 is imputable to an alteration of cellulose crystalline organization [24] due to the alkali treatment [6,10,38]. In particular, point (iii) indicates that a crystal transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II has occurred in the hydrogels [28,39].…”

“…In particular, point (iii) indicates that a crystal transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II has occurred in the hydrogels [28,39]. Moreover, the decreased intensity of the band at 1430 cm −1 (known as the “crystallinity band”) stated at point (i) reflects a decrease of the crystallinity degree of cellulose [17,24]. Point (ii) can be related to the occurred chemical crosslinking of cellulose with ECH producing ether-based linkage, which is an indirect proof of the effectiveness of the solubilization step.…”

“…The latest application concerns the use of cellulose, or its derivatives, as environmentally-friendly and economic non-aqueous gel polymer electrolytes for lithium and sodium ion batteries [23,24,25]. Nevertheless, cellulose hydrogels could also have interesting applications as aqueous gel polymer electrolytes, for example in aqueous electric double-layer capacitors and dye-sensitized solar cells [20,26].…”

Cellulose-based hydrogels, obtained by tuned, low-cost synthetic routes, are proposed as convenient gel electrolyte membranes. Hydrogels have been prepared from different types of cellulose by optimized solubilization and crosslinking steps. The obtained gel membranes have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical tests in order to investigate the crosslinking occurrence and modifications of cellulose resulting from the synthetic process, morphology of the hydrogels, their thermal stability, and viscoelastic-extensional properties, respectively. Hydrogels liquid uptake capability and ionic conductivity, derived from absorption of aqueous electrolytic solutions, have been evaluated, to assess the successful applicability of the proposed membranes as gel electrolytes for electrochemical devices. To this purpose, the redox behavior of electroactive species entrapped into the hydrogels has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry tests, revealing very high reversibility and ion diffusivity.

“…Polymeric membranes play very important roles in numerous battery and energy conversion systems such as dyesensitized solar cells, Li-ion batteries, and fuel cells [13][14][15]. In redox flow batteries, an ion exchange membrane (IEM) is usually one of the most crucial components [16][17][18][19].…”

An ion exchange membrane (IEM) usually serves as a separator between the two half-cells and provides an ionic conduction path in redox flow batteries. The new vanadium solid-salt battery (VSSB) presents higher energy density than the traditional vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). However, present IEMs are based on very expensive Nafion® membranes. In pursuit of lower cost, a membrane from sulfonated polystyrene (PE-01) is used for VSSB. In comparison with the traditional Nafion® 1135, PE-01 shows high energy efficiency with good cycling performance at current densities less than 10 mA cm −2 . This suggests that sulfonated polystyrene membrane is a promising candidate as separator for VSSB.
