An important progress has been made by the research team led by Xianhai Zeng of our college in the field of biomass catalytic conversion

Linear alcohols serve as critical raw materials for the preparation of polymers and synthetic solvents. The conventional production process of 2,5-hexanediol (2,5-HDL) suffers from drawbacks such as complex process flows. The catalytic conversion of bio-based platform molecules represented by 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into linear alcohols has emerged as a promising alternative approach; nevertheless,...

Professor Zhifeng Zheng's Team Makes New Progress in High-Energy Hybrid Lithium-Ion/Lithium Metal Batteries

Hybrid lithium-ion/lithium metal batteries (LIB/LMBs) are a promising solution to achieve higher energy density in lithium batteries by using a small amount of carbon anode (carbon anode/cathode < 1) for mixed storage of Li ions and Li metal. They reduce the anode cost of traditional LIBs and avoid the stringent environmental requirements during the fabrication of lithium metal batteries. However, ...
