Outside Front Cover: Flexible, Biocompatible Supercapacitors Weaved From Layered Phyllosilicates and Zwitterions via Ionicity
In the Research Article e3295676, Kausik Mukhopadhyay and co-workers report the engineering of an ion-conducting membrane from insulating layered phyllosilicates, bentonite clay, and zwitterionic betaine. The molecularly woven bentonite-betaine all-clay supercapacitor, developed via a sustainable, polymer-free route, is both flexible and biocompatible and can be used for low-power applications.
