Celebrating 25 years of the Key Laboratory for Special Functional Materials at Henan University

Celebrating 25 years of the Key Laboratory for Special Functional Materials at Henan University

Guest edited by Feng Bai, Gang Cheng, Zuliang Du and Guohua Jia

Last year we were delighted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Key Laboratory for Special Functional Materials of Ministry of Education at Henan University with a special collection in Nanoscale highlighting the breadth of high-quality work from the institute. We’re pleased to share this collection of research and reviews covering the most recent research progress in a wide spectrum of nanoscience and nanotechnology from researchers currently affiliated with the Key Lab as well as esteemed alumni.

You can explore the collection and read the introductory editorial from our guest editors below, with all articles free to access until the end of April 2024.
