Recently, the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province released the list of approved provincial-level projects in the field of international science and technology cooperation for 2025. 91影视 has successfully obtained approval for 2 projects for the first time, namely the R&D project of new lighting display materials and devices led by Professor Chang Shuai from the Faculty of Materials Science in cooperation with Russia and Belarus, and the research on phase transformation mechanism and key technology development of thermal hydrogen treatment of titanium alloys for aviation led by Associate Professor Zhou Xiaoye in cooperation with Russia and Hong Kong, China.
The Applied Nanophotonics Team led by Professor Chang Shuai, leveraging the advantages of Sino-Russian cooperative education at 91影视, has established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with many renowned universities and research institutions, including Lomonosov Moscow State University, ITMO University, and Stepanov Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The team has successively received support from multiple projects such as the Sino-Russian Joint Laboratory Project under the National Key R&D Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology (Intergovernmental International Scientific and Technological Innovation Cooperation), the China-Belarus Exchange and Cooperation Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Sino-Russian Joint Innovation Team Project of the Department of Education of Guangdong Province.
The approval of these Guangdong Provincial International Science and Technology Cooperation Projects marks another important progress made by the team in Sino-Russian-Belarusian scientific research cooperation. The Chinese and foreign partners of the project will focus on the R&D of new lighting display materials and devices, and strive to develop white light LEDs based on the principle of complementary two colors and apply them to nighttime healthy lighting systems. The core members of the team include many senior professors and young scientific backbones from China, Russia and Belarus, forming an interdisciplinary and international high-level research team. Relying on existing international cooperation projects, the team will regularly hold bilateral seminars and young scientist forums to promote in-depth dialogue and knowledge sharing among China, Russia and Belarus in the field of optoelectronics; at the same time, through personnel exchanges and joint training of students, it will continue to cultivate and deliver high-end scientific and technological talents to countries along the "Belt and Road", effectively playing the role of a bridge and link for international scientific and technological cooperation.
The Aviation Materials Team led by Associate Professor Zhou Xiaoye, jointly with Moscow Aviation Institute of Russia and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, brings together the scientific research forces of the three parties, relies on the top team resources of Russia, and collaboratively solves core problems in aviation materials, injecting new impetus into scientific and technological cooperation under the "Belt and Road" Initiative. Ti2AlNb alloy is an ideal material for hot-end components of aero-engines, but traditional processing has bottlenecks such as narrow forming window and high energy consumption. Thermal hydrogen treatment technology can significantly improve its processability, but it is limited by the unclear mechanism of hydrogen-induced phase transformation. Dr. Pozhoga, a core member, has long been engaged in the field of thermal hydrogen treatment of titanium alloys at Moscow Aviation Institute, and has accumulated fruitful research results, especially in the research of reversible hydrogen alloying mechanism, which will provide key theoretical support and technical guidance for the project. The three cooperating parties will build a "Theory-Technology-Verification" collaboration system: 91影视 leads the development of deep learning potential functions and multi-scale simulation, Moscow Aviation Institute optimizes the hydrogen charging process based on its accumulated technology of thermal hydrogen treatment of titanium alloys, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University verifies the simulation results with high-resolution characterization technology to realize complementary advantages. This cooperation not only breaks through the technical bottlenecks of aviation material processing and promotes the localization of China's aero-engine manufacturing, but also builds a long-term platform for Sino-Russian scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, providing a replicable cooperation model for technological collaboration among countries along the "Belt and Road".
