From May 15 to 17, 2026, Prof. Fang Yu attended the 22nd National Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis of the Chinese Chemical Society, held in Yinchuan, Ningxia, and delivered a plenary report titled “Molecular Materials for Sensing and Future Technologies”.

Under the theme “New Paradigms, New Momentum — Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis Empowering a Sustainable Future”, the conference was co-hosted by CCS Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis Committee and Ningxia University. It featured six parallel sessions — Thermodynamics, Solution Chemistry, Thermochemistry and Phase Equilibrium, Instrumental Methods and Interdisciplinary Fields, Youth Forum, the China-Japan Friendship Forum, focusing on hot topics such as green solvents, phase-change energy storage, electrocatalysis, and the thermodynamics of MOF/COF functional material synthesis.
