Author Biographies

Wen-Jun Xie received his B.S. in Applied Chemistry from the College of Chemistry, Nankai University in 2020. Currently, he is pursuing his M.S. in Organic Chemistry at Nankai University under the supervision of Prof. Liang-Nian He. He is conducting relevant research on the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide.
Dr. Olga M. Mulina graduated from D. I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia in 2015 and defended her Ph.D. thesis in 2019. At this time, Dr. Mulina is a senior researcher at the N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry RAS. Her research topics mainly include catalysis, oxidative coupling processes, S-centered radicals, and electrosynthesis.
Prof. Dr. Alexander O. Terent’ev obtained a Ph.D. degree in 2000 and a D.Sc. degree in 2009. At this time, he is a professor at the D. I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia and deputy director and head of the laboratory at the N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry RAS. His interests are organic, medicinal, and agricultural chemistry and chemical technology.
Liang-Nian received his Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry from Nankai University in 1996. He was an oversea student returning program in 2004, having received an AIST fellowship 2002–2003 and NEDO fellowship (Japan) 1999–2002. He worked as a full professor at the Institute of Elemento-Organic Chemistry, Nankai University (from 2003) and FRSC (from 2011). More than 300 papers with an h-index of 66 were published in peer-reviewed journals, and 32 patents were granted. He has edited 20 books and chapters and delivered over 80 invited lectures at international conferences and universities. His research topics mainly include: green chemistry, renewable carbon energy chemistry, and CO2 chemistry, including CO2 activation and catalytic conversion into fuels/value-added chemicals, catalysis in green solvents, biomass conversion, and green technology related to desulfurization. He’s proposed novel concepts and strategies for CO2 chemistry, e.g., in situ transformation of CO2, namely, integrating CO2 capture and subsequent conversion in a carbon-neutral cycle, and developed reductive functionalization of CO2 and green technology related to desulfurization as well as renewable energy-driven CO2 valorization in a sustainable way. On the other hand, he is also dedicated to designing effective materials for CO2 capture and conversion based on mechanistic investigations. Furthermore, several CO2 conversion technologies developed in his group are being applied to industrial applications.
