Wood and its derivatives are highly attractive materials, not only due to their sustainability, low cost, and biodegradability, but also because of their intrinsic porous and hierarchical structure, excellent mechanical properties, and versatile surface chemistry. In this work, we present an ionic diode based on bipolar membranes fabricated from two oppositely charged wood membranes. The […]

This project explores the use of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to convert biomass into carbon-rich materials suitable for energy storage applications. By processing wet biomass under moderate temperature and pressure in a water-based environment, HTC produces hydrochar with tunable porosity, conductivity, and surface chemistry. The research focuses on optimizing process parameters to tailor the properties of

In this project, we used different conducting polymers to impregnate the wood. Our goal is to create a pathway for studying the nano/microscopic structure of the conductive wood and the interactions between the wood components and the conducting polymer matrix. . In detail, we mainly focus on the difference of crystallinity and the orientation of
