​Winner of the IUPAC-Zhejiang NHU International Award for Advancements in Green Chemistry – Dr Sun Xiaofu

We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Dr Sun Xiaofu for winning the IUPAC-Zhejiang NHU International Award for Advancements in Green Chemistry. Dr Sun is currently a Research Fellow working on carbon dioxide electroreduction through nanochemistry in Professor Zhang Hua’s group. He is one of three early career chemists to be recognised with the award. The awards will be presented at the closing ceremony of the 2019 IUPAC World Chemistry Congress in Paris, France.

About the award
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and Zhejiang NHU have established a new collaborative award in green chemistry to encourage young and experienced chemists, in addition to emphasising the importance of advancements in green chemistry to human progress. This newly established award covers all topics of green chemistry, such as green and renewable feedstock, green synthetic routes, green solvents, green catalysis, green products and green energy.
