Research Interest
The group focused on the applied basic research in catalytic and chemical industry. Base chemicals in biomass and coal chemical industry, such as methanol, ethanol, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, methyl acetate and phenol, were used as raw materials and new material transformation pathways would be created based on the characteristics of molecular structure. High value oxygen containing compounds and important monomers would be generated, such as diol, paradioxybenzene, methyl methacrylate, methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate, etc. These research could improve shortcomings such as high cost, environmental pollution and complex process. The group strive to contribute to the major needs such as high quality development and ecological civilization construction.
