About the editors
Prof. Buxing Han received his Ph.D. at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in 1988, and did postdoctoral research from 1989 to 1991 at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He has been a professor at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, since 1993. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; a fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS); a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry; the chairman of the Green Chemistry Committee, Chinese Chemical Society; the former chairman of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Subcommittee on Green Chemistry; and a former titular member of Division III of IUPAC. He is serving more than 10 peer-reviewed scientific journals. His current research interests include physicochemical properties of green solvent systems and transformation of CO2 and biomass into valuable chemicals and fuels.
