Prof. CHEN Tao’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed the aggregation induced emissive (AIE) carbon dots (CDs) glycol gel, which realized powerful octopus-like soft robots with synergistic multi-functionalities. The study was published in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

Prof. CHEN Tao’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a flexible and self-adaptive airflow sensor enabled by bioinspired thin-membrane, which is mediated by the reversible microspring effect. The study was published in Advanced Functional Materials.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) are demonstrated can be improved via the microstructure morphology fine-tuning of active layer films.

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 made a series of great progress in the research and development of flexible organic solar cells (OSCs). A stabilized power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.5% and unprecedented power-per-weight of 32.07 W g-1 at a weight...

A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Jian at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has demonstrated that 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) with high stability in strong alkali solvents is a novel feedstock superior to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) b...
