Based on the previous reported studies on HPGs, Prof. CHEN Tao and coworkers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), systematically summarized recent progress in HPGs with particular focus on the hygroscopic mechanism, design and preparation strategy, and relevant AME applications. 

The Interface-Functional Polymer Materials (iFPM) Group led by Prof. ZAHNG Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has synthesized two novel vinylene-linked two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (v-2D-COFs) with isomeric structures via benzobisoxazole-mediated aldol polycondensation, which showed...

The Fuel Cell Technology Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed a pulsed current strategy to monitor the intermittency of renewable energy, proving that the solid oxide electrolytic cells (SOECs) can realize efficient CO2 electrolysis under intermittent renewable energy power. The study ...

The Nano-Engineered Materials Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has proposed a neuron-inspired all-around telechelic polymer with remarkable mechanical and physical properties, rapid self-healing ability, adhesion, triboelectricity, as well as aggregate induced emission (AIE) fluorescence. The ...

A research group led by Prof. GE Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has applied an asymmetric substitution strategy of end-groups in molecular donors, thus achieving high-performance all-small-molecule organic solar cells (OSCs) with power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 16.34%. The stu...
