Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Ultra Intense Laser and Advanced Materials Technology

It focuses on building an ultra-intense laser application platform, boasting basic research and applied research teams and mastering the core technology of ultra-intense and ultrafast laser precision detection in advanced materials. It has presided over 16 projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, 6 national defense scientific research projects, 9 provincial and ministerial scientific research projects; published over 40 papers in international core professional journals; and got one authorized patent.

The main research areas are ultra-fast diagnostic technology and application of ultra-intense laser, material synthesis and diagnosis under extreme conditions, generation and application of X-ray free electron laser in an optical undulator, and biomedical microstructure manipulation and high-resolution imaging.

Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Ocean Energy and Environmental Safety

It aims to achieve high-efficiency development of ocean resources and form a series of new technologies for optimized utilization of energy and environmental protection.

The main research areas are heavy oil development at South China Sea (traditional energy exploitation), high-efficiency treatment of oily sewage from marine vessels (environmental protection), marine coating for anti-pollution and drag reduction (energy-saving technology), heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating for offshore equipment (anti-corrosion technology), offshore solar thin film photoelectric conversion technology (new energy technology), and shipborne high-efficiency energy storage technology (high-temperature ceramic battery energy storage technology).
