A new type of rare earth heat-insulating glass coating that could block direct radiation when applied to glass and can also achieve thermal insulation, heat preservation, energy-saving, and other functions has been successfully released in Tianjin.

In the exploration and development of marine mineral resources such as deep-sea rare earths and natural gas hydrates, the undersea discovery plan of the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (Qingdao) has made major breakthroughs in 2019. The Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (Qingdao)'s 2019 Academic Annual Meeting, was held from January 11 to 12, took stock of the highlights of the past year.

In MoS2 lithium battery electrode materials, Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASHIPS) has made a series of progress. Recently, the Bangchuan Zhao research group at the Functional Materials Research lab of the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has contributed progress in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) electrode materials. The relevant research results were published in ChemElectroChem, Nanoscale, and Small.

Researchers develop the enhanced performance of poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) composite hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes by oxidized molybdenum disulfide (O-MoS2) nanosheets modification. Recently, Kaisong Zhang's research group published the result in the international journal Desalination and Water Treatment. Ph.D. student Qinliang Jiang is the first author, and researcher Kaisong Zhang is the corresponding author. This research was supported by the CAS Bureau of Frontier Sciences & Education and the Bureau Project of International Cooperation of the Chinese Academy Sciences.
