A study by HE Zhuohao’s team from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has revealed the critical role of the “fuzzy coat” of α-synuclein—the flexible, disordered regions that extend from the fibril core—in prion-like pathological transmission in synucleinopathies.
A research team led by Prof. LIU Gang from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) has achieved a breakthrough in photocatalytic water splitting by developing a scandium-doped titanium dioxide semiconductor in the rutile crystal phase.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Tierui from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry has developed a new catalyst that significantly enhances the efficiency and durability of methanol oxidation reactions. Composed of ultrafine platinum-based high-entropy alloy octahedra, the catalyst marks a promising advance in DMFC efficiency and resistance to catalytic poisoning.
A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has introduced a novel membrane design that mimics biological protein channels to enhance proton transport for efficient energy harvesting.
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics innovatively introduced the Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) theory into the design of heterogeneous SACs. They achieved the first successful application of the FMO theory in heterogeneous catalysis and obtained a highly active and stable SAC for hydrogenation reactions.
Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute developed a water-catalyzed PDH reaction route using a copper single-atom catalyst (SAC) through photo-thermo catalysis, enabling highly efficient propane-to-propylene conversion under mild conditions.
