• The China-UK Workshop on “Catalysis for a Sustainable Future” was successfully held at Tianjin University from May 26th to 29th, 2023. The conference was co-sponsored by the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Tianjin University and the Chemistry Department of the University of Aberdeen.

  
• C1 Chemistry & Technology Team held a spring group-building activity to enhance the team collaboration and cohesion from April 1st to 2nd, 2023.

  
• The theme of the 21st National Conference on Catalysis is "Catalysis Science and Technology for Dual-Carbon Strategies". The content of the conference will cover the cutting-edge technology development and basic research of catalysis in the fields of chemical industry, energy, environment, materials, biology, pharmaceuticals, analysis and so on.

  
• In the 9th China International College Students 'Internet+' Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition, Tianjin area, a total of 667 projects advanced to the final round after intense competition in the preliminary rounds, including the gold competition and qualifying rounds. Within the C1 Chemistry & Technology Team, Wang Shiqiang, a master student of 2021 ( Supervisor: Wang Shengping), and another team led by Tang Shixiong, a doctoral student of 2022 ( Supervisors: Wang Yue, Huang Shouying, Lv Jing, Guo Jintang), both achieved outstanding results in the Tianjin Competition. Each team won a gold medal in their respective industry proposition track. Additionally, another team guided by Dr. Xu Yihan, a doctoral student of 2022 ( Supervisors: Zhang Sheng, Ma Xinbin, Kang Peng), secured a gold medal in the undergraduate creative group of the main track for higher education in the Tianjin Competition.

  
• In order to enrich the students' after-school life, strengthen the sense of community and improve team cohesion, C1 Chemistry & Technology Team held a spring group-building activity on 1 and 2 April with the theme "2023 Sail and Create Brilliance". The team took a group photo at the archway of "Duzhong North and South", and started the tour of hiking and enjoying the scenery here. The determination to reach the top and teamwork can lift spirits. Although there are stopping steps and the idea of giving up, many teachers and students still succeed in making concerted efforts to reach the summit. During the dinner, the atmosphere was lively and lively, and teachers and students shared recent anecdotes with each other. After the meal, teachers and students began to free activities to carry out their own recreational activities, deepen each other's feelings in the fun.

  

  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  

  
• In order to welcome the 73rd National Day and the 127th anniversary of Tianjin University, the teachers and students of C1 chemistry & technology team of Tianjin University held a colorful group building activity in the 50 teaching building on October 1st to enrich the holiday life of students and teachers. The students actively participated and responded warmly, creating a positive and spirited cultural atmosphere of the research group. After a rich activity at noon, patriotism and love of the school surging in everyone's hearts. This activity enriched the spare time cultural life of C1 Chemistry & Technology Team.
  

  

  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  
  

  
• Recently, the first award ceremony of "CarbonX Program" was held in Shenzhen, which is the first 100 million level funding program initiated by the Tencent of a technology company in CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) field. Since the program was launched in March of this year, it has received widespread attention and positive response from the society, and the organizing committee has received more than 300 applications of projects. The project "ethylene glycol Transformative Carbon Reduction Production Technology" won the award in the "CarbonX Lab" Pilot Support Track and was selected as the first round in the excellent project list of "CarbonX Program", which was led by researcher Wang Yue of our C1 Chemistry & Technology Team, with deeply participation of associate researchers Wang Meiyan and Lv Jing, as well as cooperation with the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  
• One carbon chemical research group Zhang Sheng, Wang Yue, Huang Shouying, Li Zhuoshi teachers led doctoral students Han Xiaoyu, Zheng Ying, Feng Yi to participate in the conference. The four teachers shared the recent research progress and achievements of the research group on electrochemical conversion of CO2, copper oxalate hydrogenation catalyst, carbonyl synthesis catalyst development and synthesis gas to low carbon alcohol in the catalytic and reaction engineering and green chemical manufacturing sub-sessions respectively. Doctoral students Han Xiaoyu, Zheng Ying and Feng Yi were successfully selected to the Youbo Forum and gave oral presentations and wall post presentations. They reported their work on copper based CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, single atom catalyzed hydroformylation and rhodium-bisphosphine complex catalyzed hydroformylation of formaldehyde. Ms. Han Xiaoyu won the best poster award of the seminar.

• Recently, the paper entitled "Quantitative Ligand Effect and Mechanism Insight of Rh-biphosphine Complexes in Hydroformylation of Formaldehyde" was published in Journal of Catalysis. The first author of the paper is Feng Yi, a PhD student in 2019, and the corresponding authors are Associate Researcher Wang Meiyan and Professor Ma Xinbin. In this paper, a series of efficient rhodium-biphosphine complexes catalyzed formaldehyde hydroformylation systems were developed for the first time, and the influence of ligand properties on the reaction path was understood by DFT theory.

  
• Recently, our research group was invited by Chemical Reviews to summarize the progress in multi-scale CO2 electrolysis to C2+ products with emphasizes on “Reaction Mechanisms, Catalyst Design and Device Fabrication" (Chem. Rev. 2023, 123, 17, 10530–10583). The first authors are Yan Tianxiang (a PhD student of 2020) and Chen Xiaoyi (postdoctoral fellow) and the corresponding authors are Prof. Zhang Sheng and Prof. Ma Xinbin. The review presented a scale-bridging perspective that links discrepancies between different approaches with extensions to performance and stability issues.

• The 15th Global Chinese Chemical Engineers Symposium (GCCES) was held at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from August 5 to 9, 2023. The event attracted many well-known scholars and outstanding doctoral students from China, the United States, Canada, Singapore，and other countries to exchange and discuss the frontier progress and future development trends in the chemical industry.

  
• Recently, our research team published a research paper entitled "Electrosynthesis of ethylene glycol from C1 feedstocks in a flow electrolyzer" in Nature Communications. The first author of the paper is Rong Xia, a PhD student of 2017, and the corresponding authors are Prof. Xinbin Ma, Feng Jiao and Yuanyue Liu. A technique for producing ethylene glycol from methanol is reported in the paper. C-C coupling may occur between two CH2OH, and the desorption of CH2OH plays an important role in the formation of ethylene glycol and is a key step in determining the selectivity of ethylene glycol.
