Efficient carbon integration of CO₂ in propane aromatization over acidic zeolites
Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy SciencesPeer-Reviewed Publication
A new strategy for the directional conversion of CO2 and propane to aromatics over H-zeolites. The results show that the introduction of CO2 not only promotes the formation of aromatics but also changes the conversion mechanism of traditional propane aromatization based on hydrogen transfer reactions. Characterization results have demonstrated that the carbon atoms in CO2 directly participate in the formation of aromatic rings, and a new coupling conversion mechanism of CO2 and propane based on olefins and lactones has been proposed.

Extending classical CNOP method for deep-learning atmospheric and oceanic forecasting
Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of SciencesPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers extend classical CNOP method for deep learning forecasting models with multi-time-slice-input structure. It reveals when—not just where—input errors matter most in targeted observations. This improves forecasts for ocean-atmospheric variables, especially high-impact environmental events.
