CAS article collection: Green Chemistry
Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products.
Introduction
The continuous depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels and serious environmental pollution promote the development of green chemistry, which provides new ways to solve the resource and environment problems. Green chemistry has become one of the frontiers of chemical science and is being paid worldwide attention. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have dedicated their time to researching in the field of green chemistry for decades and made significant achievements. Herein, we will introduce the progress on green chemistry research of CAS in 2018, which covers CO2 capture and chemistry, Green solvents, Biomass, bio-fuels and bioenergy, Photocatalysis, Green catalysis and synthesis, Green process and technology, Green synthesis of functional materials, Sustainable recycling of molecules, materials and products.
