 xk星空官网

xk星空官网 area centers on the development of multi-anvil press-based high-pressure techniques in conjunction with synchrotron radiations and neutron sources for studying materials properties under extreme conditions, and their interdisciplinary applications in physics, chemistry, material sciences, energy and environmental sciences, and geosciences. Recent efforts include the design and synthesis of novel materials for energy storage applications under high pressure conditions.
