DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201902772
Abstract: Here, a highly conductive cationic membrane is developed directly from natural wood via a two‐step process, involving etherification and densification. Etherification bonds the cationic functional group ((CH3)3N+Cl−) to the cellulose backbone, converting negatively charged (ξ‐potential… read more here.
