Donghua University Vice President Lu Weibing led a delegation to Urumqi on June 24–25 for the China–Central Asia Conference on Industry-University-Research-Application Cooperation, signing a joint laboratory agreement and an inter-university Memorandum of Understanding with Tashkent State Agrarian University of Uzbekistan, and deepening cooperation with Central Asian universities and enterprises.

Donghua University researchers led by Professor Yi Tao have developed a unimolecular dual-reporter probe, DHU-AKI-3, for precision portable diagnosis of early acute kidney injury. Published in *National Science Review*, the probe enables synchronous in vivo photoacoustic imaging and in vitro urinalysis, detecting early kidney injury before conventional indicators change significantly. A smartphone...

A research team led by Professor Qiao Jinli from DHU has made significant progress in alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen production. By simultaneously regulating the pore structure and hydrophilicity of a composite diaphragm, the team developed an ultrathin diaphragm with performance far exceeding commercial counterparts, enabling a single-electrolyzer system to achieve an ultrahigh current ...

Recently, the flagship course of the “China-UK Study Tour Pilot Program,” Silk Road Threads: Exploring Chinese Textile Technology and Culture, was held at DHU, where UK students explored Chinese textile technology, traditional crafts, and cultural heritage through classroom learning, laboratory visits, intangible cultural heritage practice, city tours, and youth exchanges, reflecting the univers...

A research team led by Professor Zhao Tao at Donghua University has developed an extra-protective-layer-free integrated textile for firefighting, published in Advanced Functional Materials. Inspired by human skin, the asymmetric cotton fabric combines robust protection with highly sensitive bimodal sensing for motion monitoring and overtemperature warning, offering a promising platform for next-ge...

On June 10, the events were held at the Songjiang campus, bringing together more than 100 participants from the overseas Chinese community. It featured the official launch of the Maker Camp, the appointment of its first batch of mentors, and a project roadshow showcasing cutting-edge innovations in smart glass, AI-empowered battery dismantling, aviation thermoplastic composites, and textile custom...

Donghua University researchers led by Professor Xuan Weimin have made significant progress in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, published in Nature Chemistry. They developed polyoxometalate-organic frameworks with ordered channels that exhibit excellent proton conduction. When used as membrane additives, the fuel cells achieved a peak power density of 1367 mW·cm⁻², a 133% improvement over prist...

DHU researchers led by Professor Chen Qianjin have made significant progress in scanning electrochemical imaging, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Using shape-controlled palladium nanocubes, they developed an in situ SECCM-TEM method for single-particle electrocatalytic analysis of Pd nanocrystals as small as 8 nm, quantitatively revealing that edge sites exhibit about 4....
