ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW

On August 13, Professor Zhonghua Xiangs team from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, in collaboration with teams under Professor Dan Wang from Shenzhen University, Professor Jinlan Wang from Southeast University, Professor Bin Liu from City University of Hong Kong, and Academician Suojiang Zhang from the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has innovatively designed and synthesized a single-atom iron catalyst with a hollow multi-shelled structure (CS Fe/N-C). Th

Recently, the teams led by Professor Wang Feng and Professor Niu Jin from BUCTpublished a research paper titled“Bone-Inspired Sustainable Hydrogel Electrolytes for Zn MetalBatteries”in the internationally renowned journal,Angewandte Chemie International Edition.In this work, we have developed a bone-inspired hydrogel electrolyte (Zn-HA-Gel) composed of Zn-dopedhydroxyapatite (Zn-HA) nanofibers and a gelatin matrix derived from animal bones. The bone-like structure and strongmolecular interacti

Recently, a research paper titled Lignin-Derived Polyanionic Cross-linked Gel Interfacial Layer with Ion-Sieving and Ion-Regulating Capabilities for Dendrite-Free Zinc Anodes by the team of Professor Shimou Chen from the College of Materials Science and Engineering was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. This study innovatively designed a multifunctional interfacial protective layer for Zn anodes, composed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a polyanionic gel, achieving sta

The 2025 World Universities StudentJoint Innovation and Entrepreneurship Project successfully concluded on July 4th. This programco-organized by Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and the University of Bradford (UK), brought together 27 young innovators from 8 universities across 11 countries. Over five months, participants tackled global challenges, evolving from brainstorming bold ideas to practical implementation, ultimately delivering cross-border innovative solutions. BUCT s

From June 18 to 27, a delegation led by Cui Chunhua, Deputy Secretary of the University Party Committee, visited the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), AO Research Institute Davos, RWTH Aachen University in Germany, Regents Park College at the University of Oxford, Queen Mary University of London, and MarxEngels International Humanities ExchangeAssociation. The delegation conducted in-depth exchanges with these institutions on advancing inter-university cooperation, int

From June 23 to 27, the Confucius Institute at the University of Miskolc in Hungary (hereinafter referred to as “Miskolc CI”) held its annual local summer camp. Tailored to the interests and learning characteristics of local students, the camp featured a variety of engaging Chinese language and culture courses, attracting 12 teenagers from Miskolc and nearby areas. Through a week of immersive experiences, participants gained a deeper understanding of China and enjoyed a remarkable journey of exp

Recently, the research team led by Professor CMSE published a review article titled Progress and Challenges of Transition Metal-Based Catalysts Regulation for Li-CO₂ Batteries inEnergy Storage Materials. This work analyzes the structural characteristics required for ideal catalysts in Li-CO₂ battery applications, comprehensively discusses cutting-edge modification strategies and underlying mechanisms of various transition metal (TM)-based catalysts, and proposes insights into future research di

Recently, Professor Yuan Gao from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Beijing University of Chemical Technology published a study entitled“In situ construction of intracellular supramolecular assemblies as an alternative strategy for protein degradation”in the internationally renowned journalNature Communications. The research demonstrates that interactions between in situ-formed intracellular supramolecular assemblies and specific endogenous proteins can induce proximity effects
