Recently, researchers from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) designed Slater-Pauling (S-P) Heusler materials with a unique structure resembling a Rubik's cube. These materials showed potential in thermoelectric applications due to their semiconductor-like properties.
According to a research recently published in Nature Communications, threefold coordinated germanium was found in a GeO2 melt for the first time, which may settle down the long-standing debate on the GeO2 melt structure.
Scientists from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have synthesized an oxygen-coordinated Fe single atoms and atom clusters catalyst, manifesting superior electrocatalytic performance toward H2O2 production and biomass upgrading.
Recently, a team led by Prof. WANG Mingtai from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has put forward an intriguing approach to enhance the efficiency of solar cells. Their focus on the potential antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) as a photovoltaic absorber has led to a Parallel Planar Heterojunction (PPHJ) strategy for the preparation of highly efficient solar cells.
Lidong, one of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar, signals the onset of winter.
