Scientists at Yıldız Technical University (YTÜ) have developed an electroactive polymer that could contribute to the development of new-generation battery technologies with long lifespans and fast-charging capabilities.

Associate Professor Dr. Ali Can Zaman of the YTÜ Department of Metallurgy and his team have launched a study aimed at developing long-lasting, fast-charging next-generation battery technologies. As part of this effort, the researchers reacted elemental sulfur with acetone using a unique polymerization method. The study resulted in the development of a polymer that can store energy like sulfur and also exhibits hydrophobic properties.
