Publications Information
Our research group holds several technology patents of the second-generation coal-based ethylene glycol catalyst, which has successfully tested in thousands of tons of industrial. We have also realized the advanced industrial trial of methyl formate, which may break the monopoly of foreign technology. We have published more than 400 peer-reviewed papers (including 5 in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 16 in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed, 5 in ACS Catal. 6 in Chem. Sci. 5 in Chem. Mater. 17 in Chem. Commun.) with citations over 9000. The most cited paper has been cited 336 times so far (Web of Science 03/12/2019). There are 92 patents, including 10 international invention patents from the United States, the European Union, and PCT which have been allowed the patent application and 54 Chinese invention patents and 6 US patents have been issued. We also hold 5 software copyrights.
