The ordered channel structure facilitates ions transfer and makes the COF follow a redox pseudocapacitance mechanism. Thus, it delivers a high reversible capacity of 225

Purely organic phosphors, with its excellent bio-compatibility, convenience for modification, superior long-lived emission and afterglow, have attracted widespread attention in fields of bioimaging, sensors, photoelectric materials, anti-counterfeiting field, and so forth. In recent years, Prof. Yu Liu’s Research Group of Nankai University found 4-phenylpyridinium derivatives with various substituent groups and cucurbituril exhibiting room-temperature phosphorescence, and carried out a series o

In retrospect, the year 2021 witnessed the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the ending of the 13th and the opening of the 14th Five-year Plan, as well as the centennial of the establishment of Chemistry Discipline of Nankai University. In 2022, the beginning of the new century for Nankai Chemistry, it is prepared to create new brilliance.On Janurary 7th, the eve of the 3rd anniversary for President Xi Jinping’s inspecting of Nankai University, College of Chemist

BackgroundAlzheimers disease(AD) is the most common chronic neurodegenerative disease among elderly group, which early shows in remembering difficulty. As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, mood swings, movement disorder, impairment in visual spatial cognition and even behavioral or personality issues-- interferes daily life and declines bodily functions, ultimately leading to death. According to WHO, in modern society AD has been the fourth major killer after car

In the morning of November 3rd, College of Chemistry held a reception as well as a discussion meeting to warmly welcome the arrival of exchange students from College of Chemistry and Environmental Science, University of Kashgar. Zhang Shoumin, Party Secretary of the College, attended, and Tang Pingping, Deputy Dean, presided at the meeting. Shao Xueguang and Zhang minghui, tutors in charge of the joint education program, participated in the meeting together with relevant teachers of the Graduate

On the morning of October 16, the 100th Anniversary Ceremony of the Chemistry Discipline of Nankai University was held at Balitai Campus.Wang Weidong, vice mayor of Tianjin, 28 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, including Yao Jiannian, Yang Xueming, Wang Erkang, and leaders of Nankai University, including Yang Qingshan, Cao Xuetao, Chen Jun, Qu Kaiattended the ceremony.On behalf of Tianjin Municipal Government, Wang Weidong expressed his warm cong

On the afternoon of October 16, alumni entrepreneurs of Nankai Chemistry made a tour of Jinnan District. 26 alumni entrepreneurs of Nankai Chemistry visited Jinnan campus of Nankai University and the Exhibition Center of Tianjin Zhigu Innovative Development Complex and had a symposium with the Management Committee of Haihe Education Park. College of Chemistry signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Management Committee of Haihe Education Park at he symposium.On that day, the group of a

Year 2021 is the significant moment for Chemistry Discipline of Nankai University as her 100thanniversary. Since established in 1921, Nankai Chemistry has adhered to the school motto “Dedication to public interests, acquisition of all-round capability, and aspiration for progress with each passing day” and built up. Trials and vicissitudes bore testimony to her path. In a hundred years’ voyage, Nankai Chemistry always stays committed to our nation and grounded to fact, educating people with rigo

To summarize the hundred years history of Nankai Chemistry and boost the construction of first-class discipline, College of Chemistry held “Chemistry Discipline Development Forum” at Haibing Building on Oct. 15th. As one main part of the100th Anniversary Commemoration of Nankai Chemistry, leadership and core teachers from national famous universities were invited to have discussions on Chemistry construction direction, talent cultivation, teaching experience and so on. Vice university president,

Nanographenes(NGs), a class of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that extend over 1.0 nm5, have attracted considerable attention both in the scientific community and in technological spheres on account of their unique self-assembling, redox, and optoelectronic properties. Of particular interest are the coronene (COR) homologous molecules (Fig.1), such as the bowl-like corannulene and contorted hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene(c-HBC). which have been widely applied in field-effect transist

Malignant tumors, one great threat to human health, tend to be hypoxic. With hypoxia progression, effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for malignant tumors will be greatly reduced. Nitroreductase (NTR) conventionally overexpresses in the hypoxic region of solid tumors, thus it’s highly meaningful developing NTR-responsive nanostructure in detection and treatment of solid tumors. Research fellow Zhilin Yu’s group reported a noncanonical NTR-responsive amino acid that regulates self-as

Work of Zi Weiwei Research Group Published in JACS: Synergistic Pd/Amine-Catalyzed Stereodivergent Hydroalkylation of 1,3-Dienes with AldehydesZi Weiwei research group achieved the first stereodivergent hydroalkylation reactions of 1,3-dienes with aldehydes using a synergistic palladium/amine catalyst system. The study is published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. (https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.1c02220).Metal-hydride-catalyzed hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with enolizable carbonyl compounds is a powerful met

On June 11th, Prof. Yongfa Zhu (Tsinghua University), standing vice-minister of National Electron Spectroscopy Center, standing director of China Association for Instrumental Analysis(CAIA), visited Centennial Grand Forum of Nankai Chemistry and gave the lecture “Exploration of All Organic Photocatalysis in Environment, Energy and Tumor Removal”. Prof. Daiwen Pang hosted the lecture, vice president, Acadamician Jun Chen issuedProf. Zhu with the Centennial Grand Forum letter.According to Prof. Zh

Oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) is considered to be the key reaction in fuel battery and metal-air battery. Due to various problems in multi-step electron transfer process such as kinetic slowness and high overpotential of the reaction, Pt/C-based catalyst is usually necessary to lower the overpotential and speed up the reaction rate. However, use of noble metal Pt restricts the development and practical application of relevant instruments on account of its high cost and poor storage. As a result
