JCESR is a collaborative team of engineers and scientists with very broad backgrounds. In the battery space we are now facing challenges that required a multidisciplinary approach that no single group can achieve. Made up of 18 partner institutions, JCESR’s diversity and the opportunity for collaboration across disciplines is what makes us unique. We have the best of the best from each of our partner organizations. The JCESR team is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Architecture-Controlled Ring-Opening Polymerization for Dynamic Covalent Poly(disulfide)s
We reported a strategy to access different topologies of redox-active poly(disulfide)s by ring-opening polymerization. Control over polymerization enables synthesis of high molecular-weight polymers. The polymers undergo catalytic depolymerization to recycle monomer; a promising feature for sustainable flow batteries. Read More
