Jian Zhang’s group and Yajie Zhang’s group from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, CAS made a new progress in carbon catalyzed reaction mechanism.They found a pivotal role of carboxyl group on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the catalytic reactions of electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and agar conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfur...

Prof. Jiang’s group, Shao and Liu et al. at Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences have investigated the lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of Cu2GeSe3 by first-principles calculations. The obtained phonon frequencies agree well with the measurements of Raman scattering. 

Prof. Jiang’s group, Tan and Liu et al. at Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the electronic structures of 3d metal-doped PbTe by using first-principles calculation with spin-orbital interaction. 

“Functional Carbon Materials R&D Group”at CNITECH has achieved a series of technical breakthroughs in synthesis of large-size CVD diamond single crystals.They successfully exploited MPCVD equipment that can generate high-density, stable plasma available for high-speed single crystalline diamond growth. 

The magneto electronic materials and devices group in CAS Key Laboratory of Magnetic Materials and Devices focuses on the fabrication of flexible magneto electeonic material sand devices, and the evolution of their physical properties under multi-fields. Up to now, a series of progresses have been made regarding the modulation of magnetic anisotropy by stress/strain in flexi...
