Imprinted Color Patterns
Azopolymer material allows light-assisted imprinting of nanostructures for structurally colored surfaces
17-Jan-2020
Structural colors appear because the imprinted pattern on a surface changes the wavelengths of light. Chinese scientists have introduced an azopolymer that allows the imprinting of nanopatterns in a novel room-temperature lithographic process. A key aspect of the technique is the light-induced ...
Scientists make breakthrough in ion-conducting composite membranes
09-Jan-2020
Chinese researchers under the direction of Profs. LI Xianfeng and ZHANG Huamin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed an ultrathin ion-conducting membrane with high selectivity and conductivity that can boost the power of flow ...
BASF inaugurates the second phase of its new antioxidants manufacturing plant in Shanghai
18-Dec-2019
BASF inaugurated the second phase of its new, world-scale antioxidants manufacturing plant at its Caojing site in Shanghai, China. The second phase comprises a synthesis plant to produce the antioxidants Irgafos® 168 and Irganox® 1076. With the completion of the second phase, the plant will have ...
Pathways toward Post-Petrochemistry
Electroreduction of carbon monoxide for the highly selective production of ethylene
13-Dec-2019
Ethylene, or ethene, is a primary feedstock for the chemical industry, including as a starting material for the production of a wide variety of plastics. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists have now introduced a new electrochemical technique for selective and energy-efficient production ...
Stabilizing sulfur cathode by single Li-ion channel polymer binder
28-Nov-2019
The growing demands on the high-performance energy-storage system for emerging technologies such as electric vehicles and artificial intelligence drive the development of high-performance batteries. As a promising candidate of next-generation batteries, Li-S batteries have been drawn much ...

26-Nov-2019
BASF officially launched its smart Verbund project in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, China, and commenced building its first plants. It marks a milestone of the company’s US$10 billion investment project announced in July 2018. The first plants will produce engineering plastics and thermoplastic ...
4D imaging with liquid crystal microlenses
22-Nov-2019
Most images captured by a camera lens are flat and two dimensional. Increasingly, 3D imaging technologies are providing the crucial context of depth for scientific and medical applications. 4D imaging, which adds information on light polarization, could open up even more possibilities, but ...
Water could modulate the activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction
21-Nov-2019
As an alternative to the depletion of fossil resources, the reduction of CO2 emitted from fossil fuel combustion into valuable chemicals and fuel has drawn increasing attention. Due to the highly thermodynamic stability of CO2, it is still very challenging to find a sustainable and cost-efficient ...
Lab in hollow MOF capsules beyond integration of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis
12-Nov-2019
Homogeneous molecular catalysts are highly active and selective as they possess well-tailored structures and accessible sites. Unfortunately, the difficulty related to catalyst recovery impedes their practical application. The encapsulation of them inside hollow porous solid materials is a ...
