Prof. CUI Guanglei's group from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed new concepts concerning in situ formed and artificial SEIs as a means of fundamentally modulating the electrochemical characteristics of Zn. With strong interest in environmentally benign and efficient resource utilization, green and safe battery systems are in demand and improving rechargeability is a goal. Since the surface chemistry of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a cri...

A research team from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has conducted an in-depth research of the working mechanisms of the Li-based anodes under three prevalent strategies, which is the use of Li-Al alloys, polymer coating and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane attaching. With increasing demand in electric vehicles, grid storage, and portable electronics, the next-generation batteries of higher energy density and improved cycling life are in need. Lithium (Li) metal is considered as one of the most promising candid...

A novel external loop airlift slurry reactor was developed by the group led by Prof. YANG Chao from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In this type of slurry reactor, an external loop airlift reactor and two parallel hydrocyclones for separating the clear liquid from the slurry were integrated to realize the processes of mixing, reaction, and separation simultaneously. The gas-liquid-solid slurry reactor, where particles act as catalyst, has been widely applied in energy chemical industry, fine chemistry industry, material chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry. It has advantages of uniform temperature d...

A research team led by Prof. YANG Yong from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a reusable heterogeneous non-precious iron nanocomposite comprising metallic Fe–Fe3C nanoparticles and Fe–Nx sites on N-doped porous carbon, which allows for highly efficient synthesis of quinolines and quinazolinones via oxidative coupling of amines and aldehydes using H2O2 as the green oxidant in aqueous solution under mild conditions.
The development of high efficient and stable non-precious metal-based heterogeneous catalysts to replace noble metal catalysts is an important research topic from the viewpoint of green and sustainable chemistry yet remains a big challenge.

A research team led by Prof. LU Xuefeng from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), made a systematic and comprehensive summary on designing principles and engineering strategies on developing advanced cyanobacteria chassis cells toward the requirements of photosynthetic biomanufacturing in future. The related work was published on Currnet Opinion in Biotechnology. Photosynthetic biomanufacturing refers to the technology of directly converting solar energy and carbon dioxide into biofuels and biochemicals based on photosynthetic organisms. It can simultaneously achieve the effects of carbon sequestration and...
