Since accession of WTO in 2002, China’s export and annual GDP growth has accelerated, so has environmental aggravation, triggering the “pollution haven” debate.

Ultrafine particles [PM0.1 or nanoparticles (NPs)] are prevalent in the atmosphere, originating from fuel combustion and terrestrial vegetation.

High temperature solar thermochemical energy storage (STCES) has promise to provide a low cost and high temperature storage solution for solar thermal applications.  However, the current status of STCES is at an early stage of development and substantial research and development is required

2018 continued to be an eventful year in the world in terms of extreme weather with heatwaves, wild fires, extreme rainfall, and destructive tropical cyclones ravaging different parts of the world.  The year 2019 also started with extreme temperatures ranging from exceeding 49oC in parts of

High-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) are regarded as a viable and attractive solution to upgrade low-to-medium temperature industrial waste/excess heat to a useful temperature level for many industrial processes.

Zeolites are widely used in industry for catalysis, ion-exchange, gas/liquid separations and adsorption.

Over a century ago, Blanford (1884) discovered a significant relationship between snowcover in the Himalayas and the Indian monsoon strength, referred to in the modern era as the Blanford Hypothesis (BH).   Despite a large number of studies on the BH, fundamental mechanisms linking the

This talk will highlight two topics in atmospheric chemistry: the direct climate impact of carbonaceous aerosols, and tropospheric chlorine chemistry. They both have potentially large but still very uncertain roles in global climate and air quality.
