	A team from Tianjin university of technology systematically investigated the local structures and electronic structures of doped Fe ions as well as the correlation with the structural defects, and further investigates the corresponding magnetic and transport properties in the Fe-doped In2O3 films. Their research has been published on March 15th, 2015 in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

	Noble metal clusters are composed of several to hundreds of atoms with ultrasmall size ( < 2 nm), including Ag3、Ag4、Au25 etc. The determinant chromophore can be tunable from ultraviolet to near-infrared fluorescence with high quantum yield. More important, the surface functionalization of cluster is promising for the cell targeting imaging. Very recently, the noble metal clusters have attracted much attention as...

	Preparation of heterogeneous catalysts with active ferrous centers is of great significance for industrial and environmental catalytic processes. Nanostructured carbon materials, which possess free flowing π electrons, can coordinate with transition metals, provide a confinement environment for catalysis, and act as potential supports or ligands to construct analogous complexes. However, designing such catalysts ...

	Recently, Prof. Chunying Chen’s group has successfully revealed the chemical origin of AgNP cytotoxicity by integrating synchrotron radiation (SR) beam transmission X-ray microscopy (SR-TXM) and SR-X-ray absorption near edge structure (SR-XANES) spectroscopy.

	Polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells have broad prospect of application because of the advantages of low cost, suitable for mass-production by roll-to-roll, being mechanically flexible and light weight. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of polymer BHJ solar cells still needs to be improved for commercial application. A team from Key Lab of Semiconductor Materials Science in Chinese Academy of...

	A team from The State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics and Chemistry of Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, found that PSVS-g-PE copolymers with low branching density (115-125 branch chains per 10000 backbone carbon atom) showed a microphase-separated structure at the melt state, and a typical rheological characteristic for network-like structure was observed; PSVS-g-PE sample w...
