Prof. Chuan Shi is a full-time professor of School of Chemistry, Dalian University of Technology. Her research interests focus on nano-catalysis and interface chemistry, with the emphasis on understanding the synergy between non-thermal plasma with catalysis at the nanoscale and discovering the special properties of nano-materials for catalytic applications in environmental catalysis and conversions of energy-related small molecules. Involved in many National Science Foundation supported projects, her recent work mainly includes nano-sized transition metal nitrides/carbides/phosphides for catalytic and electro-catalytic reactions, being focused on the interactions between the carbide substrates with the dispersed metals, as well as their specific properties of nanomaterials, i.e. noble like chemical properties. On the other side, a novel means for low-concentration VOC and NO_x removal by using a cycled “catalytic-storage” followed by “plasma-regeneration” process has been proposed to improve the VOC and NO_x removal efficiency and reduce the energy consumption. Dr. Chuan Shi has published more than 100 papers, some of them are in Science, Nature, Chem, ACS catalysis, Appl. Catal. B, Environmental, AICHE Journal et al. Prof. Chuan Shi was invited to be a committee of Chinese society of energy and Chinese society of environmental science, specialized committee for the prevention and control of volatile organics pollution, and being invited as a keynote lecturer in 10th ICEC in Taijin and 2018 PacSurf in Hawaii. She has been awarded as New Century Excellent Talents in University and Outstanding Young Teachers of Liaoning province.
