Recently, a research team led by Prof. CHEN Ping, Associate Prof. LIU Lin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Associate Prof. WU Anan from Xiamen University found that samarium hydride (Sm−H) species, in situ generated on the surface of Ru clusters/Sm2O3 catalyst under reaction conditions, could work synergistically to enhance...
Research group led by Prof. Ping Chen from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was recently invited to publish a review article on Cell Reports Physical Science, titled “Hydrides Mediate Nitrogen Fixation”. Prof. Chen's group has long been devoted to the research of hydrogen-mediated activation and fixation of nitrogen molecules. (Nature Chemistr...
Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes plays a critical role in petrochemical industry, pharmaceutical synthesis and manufacture of fine chemicals.Recently, a joint research group from DICP and Xiamen university developed an efficient hydride catalyst for alkynes semi-hydrogenation. High selectivity of alkenes can be achieved by using a calcium palladium complex hydride catalyst. This researc...
Ammonia is the feedstock for nitrogen fertilizers and thus vital to the sustainable development of society.Industrial ammonia synthesis catalyzed by Fe or Ru is carried out under high temperature and high pressure with enormous CO2 emission. The development of efficient catalyst enabling ammonia synthesis under mild condition is important.Recently, a joint research team led by Prof. CHEN Ping f...
Complex Hydride Materials Research Group focuses on the research and development of nitrogen-based hydrogen storage materials; explores the relationship between structure and activity, develops new concept for material design; investigates the mechanism of hydrogen absorption/desorption; optimizes thermodynamic and kinetics for hydrogen storage; and employs complex hydrides as catalysts or co-catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis, such as ammonia synthesis, ammonia decomposition and hydrogenation.
The group has three professors, three associate professors, a post-doctor and more than twenty graduate students.
