The Innovation Center congratulates XMUM teams for winning four bronze prizes in the 5th China College Students’ Internet Plus Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, one of the largest university-level innovation and entrepreneurship competitions in the world.
Hosted by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, the event has been held annually for five consecutive years. It aims to further boost university students’ enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship, and to promote the international integration of innovation and entrepreneurship education.
This year, 1,492 projects from 120 countries and regions signed up for the competition’s International Track, twice that of the previous year. Top high educational institutions including Harvard University, Cambridge University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Toronto, Nanyang Technological University, etc, all sent their teams to the event.
The four teams representing XMUM are:
“Sixth Sense” Innovative Non-Destructive Antiques Identification Solution
Team Leader: Rong Zhixiang (Accounting)
Team Members: Ren Yijie, Huo Jiaqi (Chemical Engineering), Lye Kit Wing (Marine Biotechnology) and Zheng Ziyue (Digital Media Technology)
Advisors: Prof. Li Jing (Pen-Tung Sah Institute of Micro-Nano Science and Technology, XMU China), Prof. Zhang Defu (School of Informatics, XMU China), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wang Qiang (Research Institute of China Cultural Relics Association), and Dr. Leong Kuan Yew (School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, XMUM).
Descriptions: Archaeological instruments enjoy a huge market due to their high value-added potential. However, there are still some limitations on current instruments, including second damage on culture relics, low detection accuracy, and narrow application for each instrument, etc. Sixth sense, with the third-generation flexible SERS substrate, combining laser modulator and AI technology, can effectively overcome shortcomings of the current Raman technology.
LZTO Battery – A Durable and Fast Charging Choice in the Future
Team Leader: Zhao Xuanyu (Accounting)
Team Members: Cai Jialing & Liu Ya (Accounting), Wang Jingyi (Digital media Technology) and Hong Seang Uyin (Chemical Engineering)
Advisors: Dr. Yang Junjie (Management), Dr. Yap Teck Lee (Finance), Associate Professor Dr. Ong Wee Jun (Chemical Engineering)
Descriptions: LZTO Battery is a new type of battery made by an invented anode material Li2ZnTi3O8 /TiO2, which can be used on electrical vehicles, electrical motorcycles, etc. New material and specific manufacturing technique have made it a product featuring advanced electrochemical performance, quick charging, stability, high specific energy capacity and durable in use.
Brushload
Team Leader: Phan Tze Ying (Journalism)
Team Members: Cindy Handoko Tantowibowo (Software Engineering), Sarah Islam & Gabrielle Tania (International Business)
Descriptions: Currently, most toothbrushes in the market are designed for the general public or the children. Brushload is a toothbrush specifically created for the disabled community.

Coconut Biosorbent (Cocosorbent)
Team Leader: Tang Xueqi (New energy science and engineering)
Team Members: Lin Ruichen & Jia Ru (Finance), Zhou Jinqin, Feng Yichen, Lin Xin, Zhang Jianghong (New Energy Science and Engineering)
Advisors: Dr. Terri Lee Zhuan Ean (Chemical Engineering), Ms. Thong May Han (New Energy Science and Engineering)
Descriptions: Cocosorbent is a low cost and environmental friendly material produced from non-toxic chemicals. Cocosorbent can help small and medium sized enterprises with effective sewage discharge while promoting green technology. Potential of Cocosorbent for other pollutant removal and biosorbent regeneration will be the next focus.
