The Advanced Carbon for Renewable Energy Group led by Professor Huang Changshui from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have found that the abundant acetylenic linkers of Graphdiyne, can act as both the active site of reaction and the attachment sites for heteroatoms. They make full use of this characteristic to prepare the heteroatomic (such as iron, nitrogen, sulfur, etc.) doped graphdiyne materials. With the development of renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, various critical problems in energy and environment will be gradually improved. However, the solar energy and wind energy also exhibit the disadvantages like instability, dis...

In a new study published on Biotechnology for Biofuels, a team of scientists led by Professor FU Chunxiang from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) completed the identification of bm5 mutant. This was the first time that the loci of maize bm5 mutant had been identified since this mutant was found in the field. Plant cell walls, being repositories of fixed carbon, are important sources of biomass. The biomass is mainly composed of three toughly cross-linked parts, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. However, the complex lignin structure and its content...

Recently, the Industrial Biogas Group led by Professor GUO Rongbo from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), proposed a method to accelerate the composting process and improve the compost quality by using the porous ceramsite as the bulking agent. Composting is an economical and environmentally friendly method for the disposing of organic solid wastes by which the waste could be degraded and converted into stable and mature compost with few readily degradable organic matter content and rich...

In a new study published on Metabolic Engineering, a team of scientists led by Professor XU Jian from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China has developed a way to improve the tolerance to high level of CO2 in the industrial oil-producing microalgae Nannochloropsis. The rapid elevation of atmospheric carbon dioxide level has led to global warm and ocean acidification. Microalgae, which together account for nearly 40% of global carbon dioxide fixation on Earth, have found themselves on the forefront of mankind...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. YANG Chao from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have systematically investigated the influences of orifice diameter, liquid viscosity, surface tension force, and orifice superficial gas velocity on bubble diameter of gas sparger under industrial jetting conditions. Gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid reactors have been widely applied in fermentation, photosynthetic culture, metallurgy, and many other processes in chemical industries. Bubble size is one of the most important parameters for accurate design of gas-...
