A research group led by Prof. HUANG Qing at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed a general Lewis acidic etching route for preparing MXenes with enhanced electrochemical performance in non-aqueous electrolyte, in cooperation with Université de Toulouse, Sichuan University and LiU. The stu...

Prof. JIANG Jun’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reported excellent thermoelectric performance along the out-of-plane direction of n-type tin selenide (SnSe) single crystals by alloying with PbBr2. The study revealed that the thermoelectric performance of n-type SnSe along the out-of-plane di...

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), revealed that the metastable state of cycled lithium-rich (Li-rich) layered cathode oxides, which stems from structural defects, accounts for the voltage decay of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), in cooperation...

A research group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a multifunctional black sand aggregate for solar-driven purified water collection, which can adapt to diverse environments. The study was published in Nano Energy.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. LIU Jian at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), cooperating with researchers at Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology and Inner Mongolia Normal University, developed a feasible open-die forging approach to plastically deform La-Fe-Si alloys for magnetic r...
