A team led by Prof. TANG Zhiyong and Assoc. Prof. ZHANG Jie at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute reported a novel approach to utilize the solid photocatalysis in continuous flow without clogging with the employment of gas–liquid-solid segmented flow. This approach ensures the effective suspension of solid catalysts in flow, resulting in enhanced mass transfer and irradiation.

Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators proposed a new method to realize photocatalytic conversion of biopolyols to syngas at room temperature with high efficiency.

Researchers found that adding a small amount of aluminum to achieve concentrations in the 10x nanomolar (nM) range can increase the net fixation of CO₂ by marine diatoms and decrease their decomposition, thus improving the ocean’s ability to absorb CO₂ and sequester carbon at deep ocean depths.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology and the Dalian University of Technology revealed the tunneling effects in the active layer of organic solar cells.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology constructed an ultrathin graphene oxide interlayer on polyethersulfone macroporous substrate to tailor the structure of polyamide composite membrane, and thus improve the desalination performance.

A research group led by Prof. LIU Lingli from the Institute of Botany studied the impacts of aerosols on crop photosynthesis and tree water use under cloudless days by combing field observations, mechanistic modelling, and satellite-retrieved datasets. The studies shed light on the mechanism of aerosol loading altering terrestrial carbon and water cycles.

An international team of researchers called for the use of natural climate solutions to help "cancel" produced emissions and remove existing emissions as part of a comprehensive plan to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators, for the first time, achieved hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol at low temperature and with high efficiency.

The Chinese Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Satellite Mission (TanSat) now retrieves its SIF product from a new physical-based algorithm named IAPCAS/SIF, which helps to improve carbon neutrality research.

Researchers from the Institute of Botany and their collaborators found that warming drought intensified microbial nitrogen limitation at depth. Both soil organic carbon and litter mineralization reduced in the subsoil, which may be related to nitrogen limitation, as evidenced by lower hydrolase activity and reduced microbial efficiency.

An international research team initiated the establishment of international efficiency accreditation and testing protocols for particulate photocatalysts toward solar fuel production.

A research team led by Prof. LI Can from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators industrialized the liquid solar fuel production through the "Liquid Solar Fuel Production demonstration Project".
