Polymer flooding

Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil recovery method that thickens injection water with polymers like HPAM, improving sweep efficiency; China's Daqing oilfield is its largest application.

Polymer solar cell

A polymer solar cell is a lightweight, flexible photovoltaic device that converts light into electricity using a thin film of conjugated polymer donor paired with an acceptor material.

Polymer solid-state electrolytes

Polymer solid-state electrolytes are salt-doped polymer membranes that conduct lithium ions between battery electrodes while remaining solid, safer than liquids but so poorly conducting at room temperature that cells usually run warm.

Polymer-ceramic composite electrolyte

A polymer-ceramic composite electrolyte is a solid ion-conducting battery material combining a polymer-salt matrix with a ceramic phase, studied as a safer, nonflammable route toward solid-state lithium and sodium batteries.

PolyPlus Battery

PolyPlus Battery Company is a Berkeley, California battery developer founded in 1991, best known for its protected lithium electrode, a ceramic membrane enabling record-energy-density lithium-water, lithium-air, and lithium-seawater batteries.

Polypropylene separator

A polypropylene separator is a microporous polypropylene membrane between a lithium-ion battery's electrodes that prevents short circuit while letting lithium ions pass, known for low cost and thermal shutdown.

Polysulfide shuttle suppression

Polysulfide shuttle suppression is the set of materials and design strategies that stop soluble lithium polysulfides from migrating between cathode and anode in lithium–sulfur batteries.

Polytetrafluoroethylene binder

The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binder is a fluoropolymer used in dry battery electrode processing, where mechanical shear turns PTFE particles into a fibrous, solvent-free binding network.

Pomeranian Crude Oil Pipeline

The Pomeranian Crude Oil Pipeline (Rurociąg Pomorski) is a bidirectional Polish crude oil pipeline operated by PERN, linking the Gdańsk oil terminal with the Płock refinery since 1975.

Pongamia pinnata

Pongamia pinnata, known as karanj or Indian beech, is a leguminous tree native to tropical and subtropical Asia, grown for its non-edible seed oil used in biodiesel production.

Pony Express Oil Pipeline

Poplar River power station

The Poplar River power station is a coal-fired power station owned and operated by SaskPower near Coronach, Saskatchewan, whose two units produce 582 MW of baseload power.

Porcelain insulator

A porcelain insulator is a ceramic electrical insulator made of vitrified porcelain, used to support and isolate overhead power line conductors and substations; wet-process designs dominated high-voltage use after 1896.

Porous silicon anode

A porous silicon anode is a lithium-ion battery electrode made of silicon with internal pores that absorb the ~300% volume change of lithiation, enabling capacities far above graphite.
