Single-atom catalysis could change storage of renewable energy
2020-05-18
Electrolyzed water is known as a highly effective method of storing renewable energy, and new methods for single-atom catalysis could see significant changes to the industry as a whole. Associate Professor Meng Gu (Materials Science and Engineering) and Associate Professor Hu Xu (Physics) worked with their colleagues at Oregon State University (Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering) to publish a breakthrough paper on single-atom catalysis.

An article about "quantum resonances near absolute zero" published in Science by SUSTech chemists
2020-05-09
Two recent advances in“quantum resonances near absolute zero," have sought to prove quantum mechanics in atomic and molecular collisions through experimentation, especially at temperatures near absolute zero Kelvin (K). Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) chemists have provided their viewpoint on these ground-breaking achievements.
