Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Qinggang, from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, reported a new catalytic approach, which affording controlled polymerizations of lactones and efficient depolymerizations of polyesters. White pollution from discarded plastic waste is one of the most urgent environmental problems facing human beings. With the rapid development of science and technology and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, degradable green func...

To promote resource sharing and research cooperation for the synthetic biology and molecular breeding of industrial oil-producing microalgae, an international team led by Single-Cell Center (SCC), Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have released the "NanDeSyn Database” (http://www.nandesyn.org). This work was recently published in The Plant Journal.
Industrial oil-producing microalgae can use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oils on a large scale. Therefore, it is a potential solution for the sustainable supply of food, nutrition and fuel for human society.
To promote...

All biological processes are in some way pH-dependent. Our human bodies, and those of other organisms, need to maintain specific -- and constant -- pH regulation in order to function. Changes in pH can have serious biological consequences or, as researchers at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) found, serious benefits.The findings are published Oct. 23 in the journal Science Advances.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Guanghui from Qingdao institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. ZHANG Wenhua from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), reported a new Ni3Al1-oxide hollow nanosphere (h-Ni3Al1-800) derived from Ni3Al1 layered double hydroxide grafted on hollow polymer spheres (HPS@Ni3Al1-LDH) by calcination at 800℃ under air, where the selectivities towards unsaturated alcohols are always higher than 99 % at almost full conversions.
Alcohols are important compounds widely used in the food, fragrance, pharmaceutical and bulk/fine chemical industries. α,β-unsaturated alcohols is a kind of alcohol that can be produced via the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
H...

Recently, QIBEBT research group firstly found the ring-opening polymerization was initiated by sonicating liquid metal in fluidic lactones. Liquid metals (LMs) are promising for applications in flexible electronics and biomimetic functional composites. Nanometerization and surface modification of LMs are usually used to improve their substrate affinity and processing properties. In mo...

A research team led by Prof. CUI Guanglei and ZHAO Jingwen from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) is one step closer to solving this storage problem. The team has focused on Zinc anode and Graphite cathode based Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) due to their low cost and high-voltage capabilities, making them a great candidate for large, grid-scale storage devices. They published their findings on August 18 in the peer-reviewed journal Angewandte Chemie’s international edition. With grid-scale renewable energy on the rise, many scholars have shifted their attention from energy generation to energy storage. Whether it is solar cells converting sunlight into power, or windmills transforming air currents into electrical cur...
