  Researchers Review Detailed Mechanmis of Excited-State Proton Transfer

  A research group led by Prof. HAN Keli from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics reported an advanced review paper. This review briefly summarized the research progress on the mechanism of excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) from HAN's group since 2009, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of different theoretical methods on describing the potential energy surface of the ESPT, and provided an outlook of the opportunity and challenge ahead of the research area.

  Chinese Researchers Achieve Highly Sensitive and Selective Alcohol ...

  N-butanol, a kind of alcohol gas, is widely used in chemical production. However, long-time exposure to it may cause damage to human health with several symptoms, such as headache, dizzy, drowsiness, dermatitis and so on. Generally, Iron oxide, as a kind of semiconductor, is applied in alcohol gas detection, which yet is defected with low sensitivity and selectivity. A Chinese study team led by LI Minqiang with Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science prepared comparetively highly sensitive and selective alcohol gas sensors.
