Preface for the Special Column of Methane Transformation

Methane is the main constituent of natural gas, coal-bed gas, landfill gas and methane hydrate resources. These resources may be used more efficiently as clean fuels or as chemical feedstocks if methane can be effectively transformed into liquid fuels or chemicals. However, methane only possesses C-H bonds and is a very stable organic molecule hard to functionalize. The C-H activation, particularly the selective functionalization of C-H bonds in saturated hydrocarbons, remains a difficult challenge in chemistry. The present technology for chemical utilization of methane involves the steam reforming of methane to synthesis gas and the subsequent transformation of synthesis gas to methanol or hydrocarbon fuels via methanol synthesis or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. However, the steam reforming of methane is a high-cost process. The development of more efficient and economical processes for methane transformation is a dream of all chemists and chemical engineers. I think that this is also one of the most important themes of the Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry.     

Preface to Special Column on Electrocatalysis

Energy is the most important problem that we are facing.The limited fossil fuel reserves and the air pollution caused by the consuming of fossil fuels force the governments,industries and academia to look for renewable energies and their conversion-storage devices.Some novel concepts based on the electrochemical reactions have been considered as promising solutions to help solve energy problems and improve the quality of our lives.Electrocatalysis plays a critical role in the advanced electrochemical energy systems such as fuell cells,metal-air batteries,and electrolyzers.     

Preface for the Special Column of Carbon Materials for Energy Conversion

Carbon is one of the few elements known since ancient time. It exists as diamond and graphite in nature. Since syntheticcarbon became available almost a century ago, it has     

Preface to Special Column:Flow Battery

正The transition of the current energy infrastructure from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is critical to the continuous prosperity of our society and economy. In order to accelerate the extensive adoption of the sustainable energy sources, challenges of intermittence and instability from the renewables must be resolved. Therefore, large-scale energy storage technologies, especially flow batteries, have attracted more and more attention, mainly because     

引言北大核心CSCD

食品安全事关人民群众身体健康和生命安全,事关经济健康发展与社会和谐稳定。优异的分离分析技术是保障食品安全的重要手段,食品基质复杂,目标物种类繁多,且含量水平低,加之近年来食品安全有害物隐蔽性越来越强,通过化学性修饰等手段使目标物的形态多样等,给食品安全分离分析带来极大的挑战。     

Preface to Special Column on New Porous Catalytic Materials

Over the last 15-20 years a wide range of new porous catalytic materials has been discovered in the wake of major developments in mesostructured materials and hybrid porous solids such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs).These two developments have both enormous potential to produce catalyst supports and solids.It may be argued that most existing industrial catalysts may be revisited for improvement taking advantage of the novel materials.In both cases new techniques allow controlling not only specific surface area and pore volume but even more importantly pore size distribution and therefore the diffusional properties of reactants and products.     

中国科学院青年创新促进会专栏（英文）

The Youth Innovation Promotion Association(abbreviated as YIPA)of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(abbreviated as CAS)was established in 2011.It is an innovative measure for the comprehensive training of young science and technology talents under the age of 35 by the CAS.The YIPA aims to organize and support the academic exchange and cooperation of young researchers of the CAS and to train a new generation of academic and technical leaders.By the end of 2018,the number of members of the YIPA had reached 3640,which is the core backbone of the young researchers of the CAS.The YIPA has a total of six discipline branches:mathematics science,chemistry and materials,life sciences,earth sciences,information and management,engineering and equipment.
