Since energy storage devices are often used in a magnetic field environment , scientists have explored how an external magnetic field affects the charge storage of nonmagnetic aqueous carbon-based supercapacitor systems .The Chinese Academy of Sciences , the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China and the Zhaoqing Municipal Science and Technolo...
Inspired by muscle-powered acceleration in biological jumpers , scientists have designed an elastic-driven strong contractile hydrogel that works by storing and releasing elastic potential energy in a polymer network .The work was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China , the Chinese Academy of Sciences , the National Key Rese...
Recently, Dr. WANG Zhaofeng and his research group at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Dr. ZHANG Jiachi’s group at Lanzhou University (LZU) and Dr. SUN Luyi’s group at the University of Connecticut, have developed two kinds of high performance ML materials, namely YAG: C...
Recently, researchers from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (LICP) report a highly distal selective hydroboration of aliphatic internal alkenes using readily available iridium dimer precursor [Cp*IrCl2]2 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) as the catalyst in collaboration with Zhengzhou University and ...
Mechanoluminescence (ML), also called triboluminescence (TL), refers to the phenomenon/process that materials could emit light under mechanical stimuli, e.g., friction, stretch, compression, impact, etc. The ML materials could utilize the ubiquitous mechanical energy in daily life to generate light emissions, avoiding the requirement of an artif...
