 E-Mail Credit: XU Yingsheng Recently, the researchers from Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, by using valence engineering, developed three manganese oxides as electrodes with different Mn valences for high-performance capacitive desalination. Reverse osmosis and thermal distillation are widely used to treat salt water with high salt concentration, but they have disadvantages including high energy consumption and high cost. As an alternative method, capacitive deionization (CDI) technology can remove charged ion...

Different from small molecules, polymer will fold into lamellar crystals during crystallization and further assemble into lamellar stacks.

Chinese Academy of Sciences Recently, the research team led by Prof. KONG Lingtao from Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) prepared a highly active single iron atom catalyst (Fe-ISAs@CN) which can activate H 2O 2 to generate free radicals, achieving rapid removal of sulfadiazine pollutants in aqueous. The relevant results were published in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. Sulfadiazine (SDZ), a kind of synthetic sulfadiazine antibiotic, is widely used in clinical and animal husbandry industries. However, due to its large-scale use and unquali...

A new semimetal has been found, showing remarkable properties: It is a quantum critical material, which means that it has phase transitions at absolute zero temperature. Usually, quantum criticality can only be created under very specific environmental conditions -- a certain pressure or an electromagnetic field. But the new material is quantum critical on its own.

Today’s scientists and engineers are envisioning a future powered by renewable energy. It will take transformative technological solutions across both solar and energy storage technologies to meet the energy demands of a growing global population. These new technologies will help realize vibrant, sustainable cities and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change.
