Abstract: Polymer transition metal complexes with salen-type ligands are unique materials combining properties of conjugated polymers and transition metal complexes. This makes such materials potentially useful in a variety of energy storage and conversion devices. This talk will focus on practically relevant properties salen-type polymers and even more so on polymer-enabled technologies for supercapacitors, lithium-air batteries and photovoltaic devices currently under development at Powermers, Inc.
About the speaker: Mikhail Karushev is an R&D team leader at Powermers, Inc., a start-up company that has developed a platform of nano-scale polymer technologies to enhance the performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. He received his PhD in inorganic chemistry from Herzen University (St. Petersburg, Russia) in 2012, under the supervision of Professor Alex Timonov. Karushev is the author of over 10 scientific publications in chemistry journals.
