Brief introduction of Zhou Xiaoping.

65438-0989 Zhou Xiaoping completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Xiamen University and obtained a master's degree. After graduation, he taught in yang-en university. A year later, he was admitted to the Chemistry Department of Xiamen University to study for a doctorate. He once worked in the natural transformation research group of Academician Cai and Academician Wan Huilin. He put forward the model of anion substitution producing active center, developed metal oxyfluoride system catalyst and applied it to the selective oxidation of alkanes. During his Ph.D., he obtained 5 invention patents and published 26 papers abroad, and his research results were well received internationally. E news made a special report. At that time, more than a dozen international research groups conducted follow-up research in this field. United Carbonization Company of the United States took the initiative to cooperate with our research group. 1993 Dr. Zhou Xiaoping stayed on as a teacher after graduation. 1995- 1996 cooperated with Professor Ou Zetang of Hong Kong Baptist University to continue the research on olefin metal fluoride oxidation catalysts. While working in Hongkong, Zhou Xiaoping continued to engage in the research on natural gas conversion and published many academic papers in international journals. From 65438 to 0996, he left Hong Kong for the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, UCSB, USA, where he studied under Professor W.H.Weinberg, an academician of the American Academy of Engineering, for his second doctoral degree and conducted research on combinatorial chemistry. Combinatorial chemistry is a new research field developed in recent years. Its significance lies in that it can speed up the research of materials by a hundred times or even a thousand times, especially in the research of catalysts. Its innovation is to establish the Qualcomm quantity research method of chemical materials research. Symyx Technologies Inc, an American Silicon Valley company, was one of the earliest companies to conduct research in this field, so he was also hired as associatescientist by Symyx Technologies.

During this period, Dr. Zhou Xiaoping took the lead in carrying out the Qualcomm quantitative combinatorial chemistry research in the field of material chemistry, and became one of the five people who began to engage in research and development in this field. He has published many papers and won more than 30 patents from all over the world. He has invented the world's first parallel reaction system that can simultaneously carry out 50 catalytic reactions and a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction system that can simultaneously carry out 100 to 600 chemical reactions. He has designed a new process for aniline synthesis, a series of preparation methods for catalyst libraries and Qualcomm quantitative chemistry. During this period, Dr. Zhou Xiaoping completed 36 million US dollars of cooperative research projects with Dow, BASF and Bayer International, and won three company star awards.

In 2000, Zhou Xiaoping received a doctorate from the University of California. After that, he continued to do research work in Symyx Technologies, and joined GRT Company in the United States at the end of 2000, responsible for the research of liquid fuel oil synthesized from natural gas and its intermediates. He was employed as the company's chief scientist and scientific consultant to carry out scientific research and scientific research management, applied for invention patents 15, and published many papers.

After returning to China in April 2002, Professor Zhou Xiaoping engaged in scientific research and teaching in Hunan University, and successively engaged in discipline construction with colleagues from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Obtained doctoral programs in two disciplines and first-class doctoral programs in chemical engineering, and introduced Dr. Chao Zisheng and Dr. Yin Shuangfeng. During his work in our school, Professor Zhou Xiaoping applied for the invention patent 1 1 and published more than ten papers in international journals. At present, he is in charge of a general project of the National Natural Science Foundation, a special project of key instruments of the National Natural Science Foundation and a fund of the New Century Excellent Talents Program of the Ministry of Education. In particular, it undertook the project of National Natural Science Foundation-the research on photocatalytic oxidation of purified water and air by nano-porous membrane. Now, he has successfully designed and assembled a combined chemical photocatalytic reactor and a fluorescence imaging Qualcomm mass spectrometry analysis system, which can simultaneously carry out more than 100 catalytic reactions. The accessories of this system are domestic, imported and designed by ourselves, and the software is designed by ourselves, which has been used in research work. At the same time, Professor Zhou Xiaoping is also engaged in research on comprehensive utilization of carbon resources and new energy development closely related to the national energy strategy project. Because the main component of natural gas is methane, the molecular structure of methane is very stable and it is difficult to activate. Traditional chemical industry adopts the method of steam reforming of natural gas, which is a high energy-consuming process and produces a lot of carbon dioxide. Academia and industry have been looking for a low-energy process to convert methane into liquid fuel or synthetic intermediate which is convenient for transportation. Professor Zhou Xiaoping's research mainly focuses on methane conversion in natural gas, and the research work is progressing smoothly. The designed new process can convert methane into dimethyl ether, acetic acid or liquid hydrocarbon fuel through catalytic process, and its application prospect is very broad.
