The "Bio-information Functionalization of Paper (Cellulose)-based Materials" team led by Professor LI Zhijian of the College of Bioresources Chemical and Materials Engineering has recently made new progress in the fields of flexible sensing, energy storage, and intelligent materials and has published 6 high-level papers. This is the team's success based on the discipline development concept of "based on light industry, rich in light industry, and leapfrogging light industry", and based on the specific practice of "new light industry, new engineering" construction.

The team has long been committed to the functionalization of paper-based materials and the integration of devices, and has conducted research around the international frontier fields. Recently, we have developed paper-based multifunctional flexible sensing materials and devices that can simultaneously detect deformation, humidity, temperature and pressure, and multi-walled carbon nanotube-nanocellulose composite high-performance paper-based Li-S battery electrode materials. New materials and devices such as high-performance cellulose-based separation materials with carbon dioxide gas response characteristics, which can achieve selective capture and controlled release of dyes and proteins. Relevant achievements have published several SCI papers in international authoritative journals such as ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Carbohydrate Polymers, and Cellulose. Our university is the first author unit and the first communication unit of the thesis. Young team teachers LIU Hanbin and WU Haiwei are mainly involved in these tasks.
