07/17/2013New-concept Batteries for Lithium and Sodium Recovery
A team led by Prof. Zhaoping Liu from NIMTE firstly proposed an innovative concept of Li+/Na+ mixed-ion electrolytes to construct rechargeable batteries, as shown in Figure 1. In such batteries, one side involves the immigration of Li+ between electrolytes and electrode, and the other one refers to the exchange of Na+ between electrode and electrolytes. They are unlike tradi...
04/26/2013The Achilles’ Heel for Solar Thermal Coatings to Sustain High Thermal Stability
Recently, the research team led by Dr. Hongtao Cao, has developed Chromic-based absorber coatings. Then the related thermal aging mechanisms have been proposed.
04/25/2013Tailored Hydrophobic Ni-P films Fabricated by a Novel Method Combination of Chemical and Dlectrochemcial Deposition
Recently, Prof. Wu’s Group at NIMTE prepared patterned tailored hydrophobic films designed by synergy effect of electrochemical deposition and chemical deposition. The films morphology changes and the roughness of film surfaces gradually become bigger with the increased solution temperature. The gradually increased film roughness leads to the film’s hydrophobicity changin...
