A demonstration project of producing syngas from carbon dioxide has passed an industrial demonstration in north China’s Shanxi Province recently. It’s the world’s largest production test plant of Mnm3/h scale CO2-CH4 reforming.

A new review article on the subject of converting CO2 and ethylene to acrylic acid and derivatives was published in chemistry journal Chem, a new Chemistry journal from Cell Press by researchers from CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion Science and Engineering, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI).

A paper by a joint research team was published in the leading scientific journal Nature Chemistry on June 12, 2017.The research team has found a new approach to convert carbon dioxide directly into gasoline by using a bifunctional catalyst contained a reducible oxide (In2O3) and a zeolite (HZSM-5).

CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion Science and Engineering Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, now report that under mild reaction conditions (250 oC, 1~5 bar), Co2C nanoprisms catalyse the syngas conversion with high selectivity for the production of lower olefins (60.8 C%).

A new paper by a joint research team was published in the prestige science journal Nature on August 20. A press conference hosted by Dr. Nick Campbell, executive editor of Nature, was held on August 19 to announce the results.

U.S. and U.K. Governments announced winners of Global Innovation Initiative (GII) recently. Dr. Lv Min from CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion and Engineering of SARI is one of the awardees. In the following three years, SARI will work closely with Yale University and Heriot-Watt University on the research of high-efficiency reactor and its 3D printing.

Biosensor is an important tool for clinical detection, genetic analysis, environmental monitoring, biological terror and national security defense. Recently, researchers have developed a new type of Electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensor, which can achieve sensitive detection of target DNA. The result has been published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics
