With the rapid development of the global economy, a large amount of pollutants have been generated. Vigorously developing a circular economy and comprehensively improving resource utilization efficiency are important tasks for global pollution and carbon reduction, which help achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Against this backdrop, on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of Fudan University, the Australasian Association for Practical Net-Zero Emissions, together with Fudan University and the Shanghai Professional Technical Service Platform for Organic Solid Waste Pollution Control and Resource Utilization, co-hosted the 2025 International Academic Conference on Practical Net-Zero Emission Technologies and Strategies from December 8th to 10th, 2025. Professor Zhao Yufei from the research group was invited to deliver an invited report on hydrotalcite super-mineralized materials in the fields of solar energy conversion, carbon dioxide conversion and environmental governance.

At the conference, against the dual drivers of the "dual carbon" goals and the global energy crisis, Professor Zhao Yufei introduced that hydrotalcite, as a new type of functional material with a unique layered structure and excellent physical and chemical properties, has shown great application potential in the fields of solar energy conversion, carbon dioxide resource utilization and environmental governance, thanks to its tunable composition, high specific surface area and good catalytic activity.

The holding of this international academic conference aims to promote efficient resource recycling, build a communication platform for universities, research institutes, enterprises and governments in related fields, and facilitate knowledge sharing, technical exchange and win-win cooperation in the field of net-zero emissions. In the future, the research group will continue to carry out higher-level scientific research work focusing on efficient resource recycling, and contribute wisdom and strength to the global realization of net-zero emission goals.
