Issue 43/2014 - Several chemists have received the Ho Leung Ho Lee Award

On October 29th, the 2014 award ceremony of Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation was held
in Beijing.
Among the 52 winners, several chemists were among them
.

Under the guidance of the innovation-driven development strategy, this year's awardees have achieved fruitful scientific and technological achievements and gratifying
performance.
The 52 awardees have 1,370 patents, with an average of 27.
4 patents, a significant increase
over last year.

Many award-winning chemists have made outstanding achievements
in their fields.
Among them, in terms of emerging interdisciplinary disciplines, researcher Wan Lijun of the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, combines experiments, instrument development and theoretical research, starts from molecular surface assembly, achieves new research results in the interdisciplinary fields of electrochemistry, surface science and nanoscience, and actively promotes the application
of nanomaterials in lithium batteries and water treatment.
Zong Baoning, deputy chief engineer of Sinopec Petrochemical Research Institute, has devoted himself to research in the petrochemical industry for nearly 30 years, and has realized the industrial production and application
of amorphous nickel catalysts for the first time in the world.
Professor Huang Wei, President of Nanjing University of Technology, has made original and systematic achievements
recognized by domestic and foreign peers in constructing the theoretical framework system of organic optoelectronics, an emerging interdisciplinary discipline, and realizing the high performance and multi-functionality of organic semiconductors.

In terms of the combination of production, education and research, Liu Di, chairman of Beijing Sanlian Hongpu New Synthetic Fiber Technical Service Co.
, Ltd.
, led the team to research and develop a number of nylon polymerization and spinning complete sets of processes and equipment technologies with independent intellectual property rights, which improved product quality, reduced material consumption and energy consumption, and greatly enhanced the overall technical level and international competitiveness
of China's nylon industry.

In terms of environmental protection and ecological research, Professor Shi Zhangjie of the School of Chemistry of Peking University has made contributions to the control of source pollution by exploring the catalytic transformation of inert substances, reducing the pollution of synthetic industry from the source, and seeking green and sustainable material transformation paths, which has not only important theoretical significance, but also has great potential practical value
.

In addition, Wang Zhaoming, senior engineer of PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Company, has been working hard in the front line of oil and gas exploration, development and production in the Gobi Desert of Xinjiang for 30 years, and for the first time put forward the view of slip-off extrusion "roof structure", innovated the oil and gas geology theory of the foreland basin, expanded the exploration depth downward by 3~4 kilometers, guided the discovery of deep atmospheric fields, and in recent years, 6 large gas reservoirs with geological reserves of 100 billion ~ 300 billion cubic meters of natural gas have been newly discovered.
Formation of a gas field
with a scale of 2 trillion square meters of natural gas resources in the depth of Crassus.
