A research team led by Prof. CUI Guanglei from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently proposed a novel mechanism utilizing interfacial phase equilibrium to regulate metal ion migration. Specifically, the researchers developed a Li₂SnS₃ (LTS) interphase strategy to modify cation migration paths and balance Zn²⁺/Sn⁴⁺ migration differences. Safe, efficient, and economical light-absorbing (photovoltaic) technology is key to developing the next generation of solar cells. Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ (CZTSSe) photovoltaics—using the easily accessible elements copper, zinc, tin, and sulfur and/or s...

a research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a crystal-solvate (CSV) pre-seeding method that enables precise regulation of the bottom interface, paving the way for the development of high-efficiency, large-area perovskite photovoltaic modules. Regular perovskite solar cells (PSCs)—which place the electron-transport layer beneath the perovskite absorber and the hole-transport layer on top—have limitations with respect to large-scale manufacturing and stability. In contrast, inverted PS...

In a collaboration between Tsingtao Brewery and the Single-Cell Center at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of Chinese Academy of Sciences, researchers developed a workflow they call “process ramanomics,” based on spontaneous single-cell Raman spectroscopy. Breweries typically monitor fermentation by measuring the broth: alcohols, esters, acids and residual sugars are quantified with chromatography-based assays that are reliable but time-consuming, and they report only batch averages. A new study sho...

Chlorine is a fundamental input to modern industry, yet most of today’s supply still relies on energy-intensive electrolysis. In order to reduce energy consumption, researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, both affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have developed an alternative approach to producing chlorine—by harnessing the osmotic energy inherently stored in chloride-rich brines. Chlorine is a fundamental input to modern industry, yet most of today’s supply still relies on energy-intensive electrolysis. In order to reduce energy consumption, researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QI...
