A research group led by Prof. PAN Xiulian and Prof. BAO Xinhe from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics achieved directly synthesis of high-quality gasoline from syngas. The research provided a potential technology for one-step synthesis of high quality gasoline from a variety of carbon resources via syngas.

A research group led by Prof. LI Xianfeng and Prof. ZHANG Huamin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics put forward the concept of zinc-iodine single-flow battery, which achieves nearly 100% utilization of electrolyte in zinc-iodine single-flow, thus improving energy density of the battery.

A research group led by Prof. SUN Gongquan and Prof. WANG Suli from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics invented a new electrochemical power sources based on the in-situ coupling of direct methanol fuel cells and supercapacitors. This work sheds lights on the development of the next generation power sources for portable and vehicle applications.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently initiated an integrated research project on clean energy to offer technological support for China's improvements to energy structure and sustainable development.

Key discoveries include directly proving that large-scale ecological restoration projects can improve an ecosystem's ability to absorb carbon gas and slow rates of climate warming on a national scale, according to findings published on Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international science journal.

Prof. DEND Dehui from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, along with Prof. WANG Ye and Prof. CHENG Jun from Xiamen University, directly synthesized ethylene glycol via selective C-C coupling of methanol. The selective conversion of methanol into C2 or multi-carbon molecules via controlled C-C coupling is challenging and attractive.

Huge investments and cutting-edge research are helping China to pioneer innovations in clean energy technologies. An energy revolution is in full swing an hour's drive from the centre of Dalian, a sprawling city in north-east China. Inside a pristine new factory on an isolated industrial estate, the world's biggest battery is taking shape. This project is one of about 30 battery installations being built across China by Rongke Power, a spin out of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics.

A research team led by Prof. PAN Xiulian and BAO Xinhe in Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics designed a new bifunctional catalyst, which could achieve the syngas conversion to ethylene with a high selectivity. Researchers focused on catalytic conversion of syngas to high valuable chemicals.

With its Made in China 2025 strategy, China has the more immediate goal of making breakthroughs in such areas as artificial intelligence and robotics. Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of China's national-level science institutes, is seeking important breakthroughs that can benefit industry immediately.

Researchers from Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined soil bacterial, archaeal and fungal communities in the active and permafrost layers at ten sites on the Tibetan Plateau using high-throughput Illumina sequencing.

The research team led by Prof. LIU Zhongmin and Prof. WEI Yingxu in Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reveals the fundamental mechanism of Dalian methanol to olefins (DMTO) process.

China has successfully created the world's first production line to turn coal into ethanol, or drinking alcohol, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said on Friday. Created by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum and the academy's Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in Liaoning province, the production line went into operation in January and has the capacity to make more than 100,000 metric tons of pure ethanol every year.
