Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is systematically investigated by the research team from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering CAS which is led by Prof. Run-Wei Li. Over the past few years, the research team investigates the resistive switching effect and its working mechanism in both inorganic and organic materials.

The research group of Novel Electrochemical Energy-Storage Devices from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering has developed a series of protective structures to provide efficacious volume confinement of Li metal surfaces, with aim of stabilizing the SEI layers for high Coulombic efficiency and long lifespan of the Li metal anodes

Recently, a cooperation of Jian ZHANG’s group and Yajie ZHANG’s group from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, CAS, have successfully developed an acidic zeolite L for efficient dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in ionic liquid. 

The research group of Functional Thin Films & Integrated Devices（NIMTE,CAS）focused on the design of novel high-temperature tolerable solar selective absorbing coatings. Based on the previous studies, a new WTi-Al2O3 cermet film by introducing Ti to form WTi alloy NPs was developed

Professor Jian Zhang and his group in Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, CAS have successfully introduced secondary metal ions (Co3+) into the framework sites of K-OMS-2 to enhance the catalytic activity for CO oxidation under real wet conditions.
