A recent breakthrough stemming from research spearheaded by Professor CUI Guanglei at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) under the auspices of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has led to the development of a novel dry-film technique for ultra-thin sulfide solid electrolyte preparation and its integration with thick NCM83 cathodes in all-solid-state batteries through an advanced fusion bonding process.
The integration of all-solid-state batteries with sulfide electrolytes is emerging as a promising electrochemical system with potential advances in energy density. The demand for thin sulfides, especially those with high flexibility, superior...

The study, published in Nature Communications on April 12, reveals the extraordinary capabilities of the P-doped NiAl oxide catalyst. It can continuously convert soybean oil to diesel-range hydrocarbons for 500 hours without deactivation, outperforming commercial systems with a higher weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 6.0 h-1 compared to the typical range of 0.5~3.0 h-1.
Green diesel, a blend of diesel-grade hydrocarbons derived from renewable oils such as vegetable oils and animal fats, offers a promising alternative to traditional petroleum diesel. With a chemical composition similar to petroleum diesel, it...

Now, a team led by Prof. Gao Jun and Prof. Huang Qingsong from Sichun University, found that interlayer spacings of laminar covalent organic framework (COF) materials readily serve as perfectly selectivity artificial proton channels. These materials can be easily fabricated in bulk. “Previously, the pores of the COF materials were extensively studied for proton conduction. Yet, the pore size is typically larger than 1 nm, precluding the possibility to realize perfect selectivity against ions or water molecules” says Prof. HUANG Qingsong.
Biological proton channels are a special type of ion channels, not only because they conduct a different species, but also because they have a selectivity that is far superior to other ion channels. In fact, their selectivity is considered pe...
