Recently, researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Prof. TIAN Xingyou and Prof. ZHANG Xian, along with associate Prof. YANG Yanyu from the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Zhengzhou University, used gallium indium alloy (EGaIn) to initiate the polymerization and serve as flexible fillers to construct liquid metal/PVA/P(AAm-co-SMA) double network hydrogel.
A research team led by Prof. QIN Xiaoying from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully enhanced thermoelectric performance of n-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 through the incorporation of MnSb2Se4 nanoinclusions.
Recently, Prof. DING Junfeng and his team at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that semiconductor PbI2 undergoes a transition to a semimetallic state when subjected to pressure. This transition is accompanied by the enhancement of photoelectric properties as well as the spectral response range expanded to infrared band.
Recently, the research group led by prof. HUANG Qing from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a novel approach to treat antibiotics by using low-temperature plasma technology.
