Beijing, July 29, 2024—The “2024 Youth Symposium on Two-Dimensional Confined Materials and ANSO Joint Research Collaboration Communication Meeting” was successfully held in Beijing. Organized by the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the symposium focused on the theme of the ANSO collaborative research project "Efficient Separation and In Situ Conversion of CO2 by Nanoconfined Ionic Liquids." The event focused on two-dimensional nanoconfined membrane materials and their applications. Several leading experts in the field of two-dimensional nanomaterials were invited. They engaged in comprehensive discussions on the synthesis and preparation of two-dimensional confined materials and their applications in CO2 capture and conversion.
During the opening ceremony, Dr. HE Hongyan, the head of the ANSO collaborative research project and a researcher at the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered a welcome address and reviewed key advancements in the ANSO collaborative research project, and expressed optimism for further collaboration to enhance the dissemination and application of the project findings in Hong Kong.
The symposium covered a broad array of topics, including updates on the ANSO project, micro/nano catalytic devices and two-dimensional catalytic materials, two-dimensional telluride-based electronic and optoelectronic devices, wet-chemical synthesis and catalytic performance of unconventional crystal-phase metal nanomaterials, and the synthesis of unconventional phase transition metal dichalcogenides using a salt-assisted method. Over 30 researchers and students from the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as from the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Polytechnic University, participated in the discussions.
The symposium emphasized the preparation and characterization of ultra-thin two-dimensional nanoplates and provided an overview of their applications in electrocatalysis, biosensors, biomedical fields, and energy. Building on current progress and the developments of the ANSO project, the event also identified key challenges and opportunities related to ultra-thin two-dimensional nanoplates, potentially paving the way for new research directions in chemistry.
The conference created a diverse and high-level communication platform, offering valuable opportunities for young scholars and researchers from various universities to share their latest research findings, foster intellectual exchange, and stimulate further research innovation.
