	A collaborated team from Beihang University and the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology has explored, for the first time, the feasibility of the amorphous hollow nanomaterials for efficient electrochemical water oxidation. Their research has been published on March 9th, 2015 in Advanced Energy Materials and chosen by editor as a cover.

	The researchers from Rice University, the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Houston developed a novel hydrogen generation catalyst based on trace of cobalt and graphene, which has proven nearly as effective as platinum-based catalysts. The research results have been published in September, 2015 in Nature Communications.

	A research team of Jilin university State Key Laboratory of Superhard Materials successfully synthesized the high-purity two-dimension single-crystalline SnSe nanosheets, which high-pressure behaviors have been investigated. Their research has been published on May 18th, 2015 in Nanoscale.

	A team from China Agricultural University published their research in Nature Communications on March 23th, 2015. The research is about “the amino-terminal structure of human Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein obtained using precipitant-immobilized imprinted polymers”.

	In this contribution, a novel design strategy about nonplanar but conjugated BTP-based polymeric semiconductors (PBTP-IDG，PBTP-DPP, and PBTP-NDI, Figure 1) has been reported by Chen and co-workers. By incorporating the nonplanar BTP units into the polymer backbones, the solubility, possibility, aggregation structure, and device performance of the BTP-based polymer semiconductors has been well tuned. The field-eff...

	A team from Beijing Institute of Technology reported on the successful synthesis of hierarchically porous Mo2C/C hybrid comprised with nanoparticels (4~7 nm) by a simple and effective freeze-drying method. Additionally, the structure characterization and Li-storage mechanism were also intensitively investigated. This research work has been published in the journal of Nano Energy on Dec., 2015.
