In order to understand the roles of the surface functional groups on the physical properties of MXenes, the research group leaded by Shiyu Du(Nimte,Cas) firstly comprehensively studied the structures, mechanical strengths and electronic energy bands of M2CT2 MXenes (M=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W; T=O, F, OH).

The research team led by Prof. Xiayin Yao (NIMTE,CAS) has designed a new all-solid-state lithium battery, ensuring the compatibility between electrolyte and metallic lithium.

The research group led by Prof. Wenge Zheng（NIMTE,CAS）has devoted great effort to the fabrication of graphene-based materials for high-efficiency EMI shielding over the past few years. And recently，have achieved some important advances in the structural design of graphene-based materials for excellent EMI shielding again

The liquid separation and purification group has made progress in bio-based polymeric membrane synthesis and application.The group have prepared PLA membrane with gradient pore structure and modified PLA membranes with heparin and heparin-like surface. e.g.

Prof. Dr. Aisheng Huang and his group in Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences have successfully developed a novel bifunctional zeolite catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) for methanol dehydration to DME
