About the author
Botao Qiao earned his Ph. D degree from Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007, and then became a postdoctoral fellow in Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences where he has worked until present. He visited the Department of Physics, Arizona State University, USA, from 2012 to 2015. After coming back to DICP he was promoted to a full professor in 2017. His research interests are focused on the design, synthesis and characterization of highly dispersed supported metal catalysts and their applications in energy and environmental catalysis.
Ding Ma read chemistry in Sichuan University (1996), and obtained his Ph.D from the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (2001). After his postdoctoral stay in Oxford University and University of Bristol, he started his research career in Dalian Institute of Chemistry as associate professor (2005). He was promoted as a full professor in 2007 and moved to Peking University in 2009. His research interests are heterogeneous catalysis, especially those related with energy issues, including C1 chemistry (methane and syngas conversion), hydrogen production/transportation, new reaction route for sustainable chemistry and the development of in-situ spectroscopic method that can be operated at working reaction condition to study reaction mechanism. He is Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, and on the Editorial Boards of Journal of Energy Chemistry, Chinese Journal of Chemistry, Science Bulletin, Joule, ACS Catalysis, and Catalysis Science & Technology etc.
