Recently, scientists from Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) utilized valence engineering to develop three manganese oxides as electrodes with different Mn valences for high-performance capacitive desalination. Reverse osmosis and thermal distillation are widely used to treat salt water with high salt concentration, but limited by high energy consumption and high cost.
More people are getting vaccinated on science island On May. 24, a temporary vaccination site was set on science island to provide on-site inoculations of covid-19 shot, free of charge. Students and Staff of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), took the chance to get vaccinated, building protection from the pandemic.
Recently, the research team led by Prof. KONG Lingtao at Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science successfully prepared a highly active single iron atom catalyst (Fe-ISAs@CN) for activating H2O2 to generate free radicals, achieving rapid removal of sulfadiazine pollutants in aqueous. The relevant results were published in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science.
CAS embraces its big scientific public outreach each May. They call it the CAS Science Week. It means at a certain weekend in May, every CAS institute launches its brand public outreach campaign in different ways to show and tell the public what is science and how science changes our lives. We have the volunteer team in HFIPS telling the story of science island. After interviewing ZHANG Suzhen last week, we invited WANG Hui from Division of Science Center & Research Infrastructure, HFIPS to tell us more...
Recently, a research group led by ZHU Qingjun, from Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), made new progress in the experimental research on tritium production of fusion blanket mock-up, and obtained the experimental data of tritium production rate.
