Semiconductor photocatalysis has been considered to be a potentially promising approach to solve energy and environment problems with abundant solar light. However, the semiconductor materials available are generally limited by either poor photocatalytic efficiency in the visible light range or insufficient charge separation ability.
Professor MA Xuebing and associate Professor GONG Chengbin from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Southwest University visited the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on April 17. During their visit, they each delivered a lecture introducing their recent work.
Macroporous adsorption resins (MARs) have been shown to be potentially powerful separation materials and have been applied in many fields. To gain a greater adsorption capacity and a higher adsorption selectivity for some specific organic compounds, chemical modification of MARs is often undertaken by introducing special functional groups into t...
