Dr CaiShen and his research team,has made significant progress in the understanding of the SEI morphological evolution by using a combination of in-situ electrochemical AFM and ex situ XPS.
11/24/2015Novel Solid Electrolytes for All-solid-state Lithium Battery
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.
09/22/2015Robust Superhydrophilicity and Under-water Superoleophobicity Cellulose Sponge for Highly Effective Oil/water Separation
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.
07/30/2015Non-conjugated Small-molecule Electrolyte Provides New Strategy for High-efficiency Polymer Solar Cells
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.
06/29/2015High Performance Ni-Mn-Sn Magnetocaloric Effect Materials by Optimal Annealing
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...
