The activation and valorization of inert molecules, such as dinitrogen (N2), alkanes, and alkenes, for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing organic compounds have long been a highly sought-after goal in chemistry. However, it remains highly challenging due to the exceptional stability of the N≡N and C-H bonds, as well as the difficulty in achieving their cooperative activation under mild con...
With the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, all-solid-state potassium metal batteries (PMBs) are gaining significant interest as a viable alternative to conventional lithium-based systems owing to the natural abundance and high theoretical energy density of potassium. Nevertheless, the advancement of efficient PMBs is still hindered by the lack of suitable electrolytes.Recently...
Hydride ion (H⁻), with their low mass and high redox potential, are considered promising charge carriers for next-generation electrochemical devices. However, the lack of efficient electrolyte with fast hydride ion conductivity, thermal stability, and electrode compatibility has hindered their practical applications.In a study published in Nature, Prof. CHEN Ping's group from the Dalian Instit...
Recently, Professor Chen Ping and Professor He Teng from our research group at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, in collaboration with Associate Professor Rao Li from Central China Normal University, have made new progress in developing metal-organic compounds for hydrogen storage materials. For the first time, they utilized photocatalysis to achieve reversible hydrogenation and dehydro...
On January 10, 2025, a 150 tons/year magnesium hydride pilot project was launched. The project is a joint initiative involving the Yulin Zhongke Clean Energy Innovation Research Institute as the construction supporter, our research group as the technology provider, and Dalian Fude Jinyu New Energy Co., Ltd. as the private investor. The pilot plant has begun trial operations and produces high-qu...
Recently, a team led by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Cao Hujun discovered a peculiar "freezing effect" in lattice-distorted lanthanum hydride, whereby temperature treatment can cause its electronic conductivity to irreversibly decrease by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. They revealed that this mutation is related to changes in the coordination environment of tetrahedral hydrogen.The high polar...
Recently, a team led by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Guo Jianping in our group has made new progress in hydride chemical nitrogen fixation research. They have revealed the relationship between the photodehydrogenation color change phenomenon of lithium hydride (LiH) and nitrogen fixation, thus constructing a LiH-mediated photocatalytic ammonia synthesis process.The synthesis of ammonia thr...
Recently, a team of researchers led by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Guo Jianping in our group, in collaboration with a team of Professor Xi Zhenfeng from Peking University, developed a method for synthesizing a variety of important nitrogen-containing organic compounds from nitrogen through a research paradigm that cross-integrates homogeneous and multiphase processes.The efficient activat...
