A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) employed the philosophy of yin and yang to manipulate the polymer electrolyte with high safety and reliability for power lithium ion batteries. Taichi, a kind of traditional Chinese boxing, is called as “the quintessence of the Chinese culture”. The Taichi mainly refers to yin and yang. The conflicting and interdependent relations between the yin and yang are the general rules in the ma...

A joint research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences and Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS) has eported the application of graphdiyne (GDY) as high efficiency lithium storage materials and elucidated the method of lithium storage in multilayer GDY. In the pursuit of higher capacity, rate capability and longer cycling life, other carbon structures have been studied, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, which have zero-, one-, and two-dimensional (2D) architectures, resp...

A joint research team from the Single-Cell Center, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences and Guanghua School and Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) has developed a microbiota-based approach for predicting early childhood caries Microbiota are present everywhere in the biosphere. Can we employ them as indigenous “biosensors”, to diagnose and predict the health of their ecosystems? A joint research team from the Single-Cell Center, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Biop...

A room-temperature, ultrafast methylamine-induced defect-healing (MIDH) technology was developed to gain better control over the crystallization of perovskite from solution. Owing to their unique optical, electric and magnetic properties as well as simple preparation and inexpensive fabrication routes, organolead halide perovskites have become an attractive light-absorber with a rapid improvement of efficiencies from ...

As a dominant terrestrial biomass, wood is used for myriad applications such as construction, paper making, pulping and as a feedstock for biofuels. It is challenging to elucidate the molecular mechanism that underlies wood formation and controls poplar vegetative growth phase. This is an efficient strategy to increase biomass utilization.

Natural peroxidases are of great practical significance in the fields of catalytic industry, pharmaceuticals, biosensor, food safety, environmental protection and genetic breeding. However, natural peroxidases as proteins suffer some disadvantages such as cockamamie steps for isolation and purification, as well as denaturation in complex conditions. As the efficient peroxidase alternatives, nanomaterial-based enzyme mimetics (nanozymes) have many unique properties including high stability, low cost, large surface-to-volume ratio and high catalytic activity. However, to date, most of the reported peroxidase mimetics need to work in acidic conditions (pH < 5.0) rather than nearly neutral conditions (pH 6.0-7.4), which would limit their practical applications. Natural peroxidases are of great practical significance in the fields of catalytic industry, pharmaceuticals, biosensor, food safety, environmental protection and genetic breeding. However, natural peroxidases as proteins suffer some disadvantages...
