I was educated and worked as an organic chemist and did some organic electrochemistry and I have no freaking clue what this is about based on the press release. The attempt at putting it in plain English appears to have completely butchered any understanding of the science.
It appears that by coating carbon nanotubes with telfon on one side (after ground into a film), they can create a potential gradient with an oxidizing solvent on one side? But so many pieces are missing - where do the electrons come from? What’s on the Teflon side of the membrane? An electron donor?
