In recent years, Prof. LI Chaoxu and coworkers from Biomimetic Smart Materials Group, Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have carried out a lot of research work on the exfoliation and self-assembly of biological nanofibrils. Many valuable metals like Au, Ag, Li and U are vital to high technology and modern industry. The terrestrial mineral reserves of these metals are generally very limited or suffer from high mining cost. Although most of these valuable metal ions co...
In a paper published in Nature Communications on July 29, researchers described a new way of processing formamidinium-based perovskite film that relieves some of the limitations by using ammonia treatment to remove pore structures formed during the processing. Since 2009, scientists have suspected that perovskite films, which are a combination of organic and inorganic material, could be a promising for solar panel construction. Perovskites are very thin films with a specific crystal structure that are v...
A research team led by researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a robust self-standing single-ion polymer electrolyte (SSPE) enabling high-safety RMBs at elevated temperature even up to 150 °C, which has great potential in special power supplies for space and underground resource exploitation. This study was published on June 29 in Advanced Energy Materials.
With the growing demand for space and underground resource exploitation, it is urgent to exploit special power supplies operating under elevated temperature exceeding 100°C.
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have great potential in sati...
Among various post-lithium-ion battery technologies, rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries utilizing divalent Mg2+ as charge carriers are expected to offer substantial improvements in volumetric energy density and sustainability of batteries, due to the use of earth-abundant, high-capacity and dendrite free Mg metal anode.
Now, a research team led by researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have revealed an unheeded failure mechanism of Mg metal anode, which promotes the development of Mg metal anode battery from a new perspective.
Among various post-lithium-ion battery technologies, rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries utilizing divalent Mg2+ as charge carriers are expected to offer substantial improvements in volumetric energy density and sustainability of batteries.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators have developed an instrument called Clinical Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Ramanometry for Helicobacter pylori (CAST-R-HP), which holds promise as a powerful new tool in the diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infections. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the bacteria that can cause human gastritis, peptic ulcers and stomach cancer, infects about half of the world’s population. It is essential to quickly identify the infection and select the right combination of se...
Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Guanghui from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has fabricated a novel UiO-66/MS filter and assembled it into an all-in-one device for continuous phosphate removal from wastewater.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising as adsorbents for pollutants removal due to their high surface area, low density, tunable porosity and potential for increased adsorption capacities.
However, MOFs are often synthesized as fine pow...
