Prof. YE Jichun’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), cooperating with researchers at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, has revealed the underlying dynamics of Silicon oxide (SiOx) tunneling junctions, including pinhole formation processes and charge-carrier transport mechanisms. The stu...

The Smart Polymer Materials group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed an anti-freezing organohydrogel, which was applied as electrodes to prepare triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and thus realizing high-efficiency human-machine interaction at -30 ℃. The study w...

The Smart Polymer Materials group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a fluorescent organohydrogel which can serve as an effective platform for the encryption and decryption of secret information, in cooperation with researchers at Beihang University. The study was p...

Prof. CHEN Liang’s group & Prof. LU Zhiyi’s group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a highly-active carbon-based catalyst, which can directly utilize renewable energy (e.g. solar energy) to improve the efficiency of photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition effectively. The study was published in Adva...

Prof. CHEN Liang’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) observed that the addition of sulfate in electrolyte can greatly alleviate corrosion, thus enhancing the operating stability of seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production. The study was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
