By 2023, over 560 million or 40 % of all mobile phone users are expected to use 5G networks. According to the Industrial Internet Plan 2021“, a National Industrial Internet Big Data Center will be almost […]
The group of SHI Quan at the CAS Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, has developed a graphene-based composite phase change material with high light-to-heat conversion efficiency. The composite phase change material has a high loading capacity (95wt%), can maintain a stable phase change enthalpy (162.8J/g) after 1000 heat and cold cycles, and shows excellent phase […]
According to Japanese sources, China’s market for carbon fibers is around 50,000 t, of which over 60% is imported. As a result of the rapidly increasing demand for this material for lithium battery separators and the photovoltaic industry in China, Chinese companies are now increasingly entering the production. For example, Zhongfu Shenying, a subsidiary of […]
Since the 1990s, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Technology (DICP) has carried out R&D on PEM-based electrolysis technology, and has developed several generations of electrolyzers for hydrogen production. The current system has a rated hydrogen production of 220Nm3/h and a peak hydrogen production of 275Nm3/h. A megawatt-level hydrogen production and fuel cell power generation system […]
China National Offshore Oil Corporation has discovered another large oil and gas field “Kenli 10-2 Oil Field” in the Bohai Sea which, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources exceeds 100 million tons. The field is about 245 kilometers from Tianjin City, with an average depth of 15.7 meters. Tests have shown that the field […]
Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 in Shandong Province is said to become the world’s largest combined heat and power system. It is expected to replace 12 coal-fired boilers at the site and reduce coking coal consumption in each heating season by about 100,000 tons, carbon dioxide emissions by 180,000 tons, smoke dust by 691 […]
