“…In stem cell technology, genipin is used to crosslink alginate and chitosan to synthesize microcarriers [ 134 ]. Gorgieva et al [ 135 ] fabricated nanocomposite membranes based on chitosan and genipin as a crosslinker. Du et al [ 136 ] were able to replace glutaraldehyde with genipin to crosslink chitosan for the fabrication of pervaporation membranes for the dehydration of isopropanol.…”

Cation exchange membranes (CEMs) play a significant role in the transition to a more sustainable/green society. They are important components for applications such as water electrolysis, artificial photosynthesis, electrodialysis and fuel cells. Their synthesis, however, is far from being sustainable, affecting safety, health and the environment. This review discusses and evaluates the possibilities of synthesizing CEMs that are more sustainable and green. First, the concepts of green and sustainable chemistry are discussed. Subsequently, this review discusses the fabrication of conventional perfluorinated CEMs and how they violate the green/sustainability principles, eventually leading to environmental and health incidents. Furthermore, the synthesis of green CEMs is presented by dividing the synthesis into three parts: sulfonation, material selection and solvent selection. Innovations in using gaseous SO3 or gas–liquid interfacial plasma technology can make the sulfonation process more sustainable. Regarding the selection of polymers, chitosan, cellulose, polylactic acid, alginate, carrageenan and cellulose are promising alternatives to fossil fuel-based polymers. Finally, water is the most sustainable solvent and many biopolymers are soluble in it. For other polymers, there are a limited number of studies using green solvents. Promising solvents are found back in other membrane, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, Cyrene™, Rhodiasolv® PolarClean, TamiSolve NxG and γ-valerolactone.

“…In a recent research, chitosan N-RGO nanocomposite anion exchange membranes were prepared by a facile, dispersion-casting procedure in fuel cells. Genipin, which is a water-soluble bifunctional crosslinking reagent, was used in fuel cells to reorganize mechanical weakens of nanocomposite membranes and achieved considerable improvement in terms of efficiency and performance [41].…”

Energy storage is the process of storing previously generated energy for future usage in order to meet energy demands. The need for high-power density energy storage materials is growing across the board. The high ionic transport, superior electronic conductivity, rapid ion diffusion, high current tolerance, etc. are few among the numerous factors that can be considered the versatilities of nanomaterials. This makes the nanomaterials suitable for energy storage applications. According to the allied market research, the global nanotechnology in energy industry was estimated at $139.7 million in 2020 and is anticipated to hit $384.8 million by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% from 2021 to 2030. The extraordinary and improved properties of carbon-based nanomaterials and their tunable surface chemistry authorize them to be used in design of competent high-energy and high-power energy storage devices. Recent research and future progress focus on effective usage of low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage systems. In particular, versatile carbon nanomaterials with multifunctional capabilities have attracted incredible attention in different types of batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and other energy storage devices. Engineering the carbon-based nanomaterials with efficient energy storage and remarkable conversion ability embraces the promise of creating a new path for their future development. This article reviews the role of few carbon-based nanomaterials in efficiently increasing the competence and dependability of energy storage applications.
