Dr. ZHOU Yan and Prof. SHEN Wenjie at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators identified the atomic structure of the catalytically active copper-ceria interface and proposed a copper bilayer model. Moreover, they found that the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction occurred at the copper-ceria interfacial perimeter via a site cooperation mechanism.

Scientists Discover a Promising Thermoelectric Zintl-phase Eu2ZnSb2
Zintl compounds are considered to be potential thermoelectric materials due to their "phonon glass electron crystal" (PGEC) structure. A promising Zintl-phase thermoelectric material, 2-1-2–type EuZn2Sb2 (P63/mmc), was prepared and investigated by researchers from Institute of Physics and Harbin Institute of Technology.
