Cellulose Nanomaterials Improve Electrospun Membranes for More Sustainable Water Treatment
A review of cellulose nanomaterial-based electrospun membranes finds that nanocellulose can increase mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, permeability, fouling resistance, and contaminant-removal capabilities across several water-treatment designs. The authors also examine solvent choice, hydraulic stability, manufacturing scale-up, life-cycle impacts, and the practical requirements for moving these membranes beyond laboratory studies. 09/11/2026

How Isolated Nanoclusters Could Make Lithium Metal Batteries Safer and Longer Lasting
Researchers developed a sterically regulated electrolyte that uses a non-flammable cyclic fluorinated diluent to form isolated solvation nanoclusters, improving lithium-ion transport and stabilizing interfaces in lithium metal batteries. The system enabled NCM811 coin cells to retain 80% capacity after more than 800 cycles, while a separate 6 Ah pouch cell exceeded 500 Wh kg?¹ and showed favorable behavior in nail-penetration and severe overcharge tests. 09/09/2026
