Official Press Release: 1-Material Launches Production of High-Performance Polymer PBI

We’re excited to share that 1-Material has issued a new press release announcing the launch of our in-house production of Polybenzimidazole (PBI) — a high-performance polymer known for its superior thermal and chemical resistance. This move comes in response to an industry-wide shortage and marks a significant step in expanding our materials offering to meet … Read more

OMIEC, organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors for energy storage, electrochromic displays, bioelectronics, sensors, electrocatalysis, neuromorphic devices, thermoelectrics, and actuators

Mixed ionic-electronic conductors, also known as mixed conductors, are an increasingly important category of materials with applications in energy storage, electrochromic displays, bioelectronics, sensors, electrocatalysis, neuromorphic devices, thermoelectrics, and actuators.

Mixed conductors exhibit both ion and electron/hole conductivity, and ionic-electronic coupling (i.e., capacitance), allowing them to effectively transduce ionic signals to electronic ones, and vice versa.

In recent years, new mixed conductors have been developed beyond the traditional metals oxides and phosphates to include (semi)conducting polymers, radical polymers, perovskites, and hybrid organic-inorganic materials, enabling improved performance and new functionalities.

Structured below are examples of polymeric mixed conductors from 1-Material Inc.
