Li-ion hybrid capacitors (LIHCs), consisting of an energy-type redox anode and a power-type double-layer cathode, have attracted significant attention due to their combination of the advantages of conventional Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors. However, most anodes are battery-like materials with the sluggish kinetics of Li-ion storage, which...
The group headed by Professor ZHOU Feng from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed and synthesized a molecularly engineered dual-crosslinked hydrogel with extraordinary mechanical properties.
Inspired by these biological examples, the research group headed by Professor ZHOU Feng at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created a well-defined hydroresponsive self-folding device that can fold into complex three-dimensional structures and can perform active movement on surfaces with a roughness...
Nanosizing is the fashionable method to obtain a desirable electrode material for energy storage applications. Thus a question arises: do smaller electrode materials exhibit better electrochemical performance? The research group headed by Professor YAN Xingbin at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) of the Chinese Academy of Scienc...
Dr. Mu-Ping Nieh from the University of Connecticut visited the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on June 1. During his visit, he delivered a lecture entitled Properties of Self-Assembled Discoidal Bicelles and Their Potential Applications in Bionanotechnology.
