Prof. Xiaoxiong Xu and his group have successfully developed a series of novel SE materials. A novel sulfide electrolyte 70Li2S?29P2S5?1Li3PO4 (mol%) glass-ceramic was prepared by a high-energy ball milling technique and subsequent heat-treatment process.  

Dr. Zhixiang Zeng and co-workers from Ningbo Institute of Material Technology and Engineering (CNITECH),fabricate a cellulose sponge with stable wettability of superoleophobicity (θoil>150o) under water and superhydrophilicity (θwater≈0o) under oil without any further chemical modification for oil/water emulsion separation.

Prof. ZiyiGe from CNITECH compounded an easily prepared, low cost and solution-processed non-conjugated organic small-molecule electrolyte as cathode interfacial layer to effectively improve the electron transfer and collection abilities.

Laboratory of rare earth magnetic functional materials systematically studied magnetic refrigeration properties of Ni-Mn-Sn Hesuler alloys. Interstitial C atoms were successfully introduced into Ni-Mn-Sn alloy, and in this way, not only curie temperature was increased by 50 K, but also magnetic entropy change was improved by 26 % from 27.4 J(kgK)-1 for Ni-Mn-Sn alloys withou...

Prof. Run-Wei Li's gruop demonstrate that by controlling the physiochemical processes of transport of metal or oxygen ions, adsorption/desorption of functioning groups, doping of organic ions and etc with electric fields, it is possible to receive stable resistive switching effect in various thin film materials of BiFeO3, HfO2, graphene oxide, and PA-TsOH.
