In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team led by Prof. ZHANG Yunxia from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an integrated bulk and surface commodification strategy to upgrade spent lithium cobalt oxide batteries (S-LCO) to operate at high voltages.
Recently, a team led by Prof. LIU Dong and Prof. WANG Zhenzhu from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences, used Cloud–Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) spaceborne Lidar observations to study the global features of cirrus clouds composed of hollow ice crystals for the first time. Their research revealed the seasonal and global distribution characteristics of these ice crystals.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. XIONG Wei from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a high dynamic range spatial heterodyne one-dimensional imaging spectroscopy based on a digital micromirror device (HD-SHIS) in response to the low dynamic range of spatial heterodyne imaging spectroscopy (SHIS). The related results were published in the international authoritative journal of the optics field, Optics Express.
A research group led by Prof. PENG Xuebing from Hefei Institute of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of sciences proposed a concept design of a combined cycle system for the fusion reactor based on Rankine and Brayton cycle to overcome the high outlet temperature and long run of the fusion reactor.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. JIANG Changlong from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences has constructed a visual sensing platform based on DNA aptamer-based sensing system. This sensor can be used for rapid and quantitative detection of organophosphate insecticides, such as profenofos and isocarbophos, in the environment and food.
