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.

The Biomedical Polymers Research Group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed ultrastretchable, highly transparent, self-adhesive, and 3D-printable ionically conductive hydrogels for multimode tactical sensing. The study was published in Chemistry of Materials (Chem. Mater.).
