Our research group attended the 12th National Conference on Membranes and Membrane Processes (CCOM2026), held in Suzhou, China, from August 5–9, 2026. Congratulations to our Master’s students, Tongchao Wang and Yulong Li, who both received the Excellent Graduate Student Poster Award!
Tongchao presented the work entitled “Construction of Functionalized Sulfur-Rich Polymer Membranes for Osmotic Energy Conversion,” highlighting the design and fabrication of functionalized sulfur-rich polymer membranes and their potential applications in salinity-gradient energy harvesting; Yulong presented the work entitled “Chelation-Assisted Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis for Efficient Lithium–Magnesium Separation,” demonstrating a chelation-regulated ion transport strategy coupled with bipolar membrane electrodialysis to achieve highly selective Li⁺/Mg²⁺ separation, offering a promising approach for efficient lithium recovery from salt-lake brines.
