A research group led by Prof. YE Jichun at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed high-performance monolithic perovskite/black silicon (b-Si) solar cells with a tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon), achieving a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 28.2%. The relevant study was...

A research group led by Prof. LIU Zhaoping at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed an analytical approach to quantitatively evaluate the reversibility and irreversibility of practical lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Their study was published in Nature Energy. 

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 ...
