Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Catalysis
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

His primary areas of investigation include Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Steam reforming, Pyrolysis and Furfural. His Catalysis study incorporates themes from Inorganic chemistry, Coke and Nickel. His study in Inorganic chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Heterogeneous catalysis and Catalyst support.

His work in Steam reforming tackles topics such as Acetic acid which are related to areas like Hydrogen and Acetone. Xun Hu has included themes like Raw material, Cellulose, Biofuel and Tar in his Pyrolysis study. Xun Hu interconnects Cationic polymerization and Furan in the investigation of issues within Furfural.

His most cited work include:

  • Levulinic esters from the acid-catalysed reactions of sugars and alcohols as part of a bio-refinery (164 citations)
  • Investigation of the steam reforming of a series of model compounds derived from bio-oil for hydrogen production (146 citations)
  • Investigation of steam reforming of acetic acid to hydrogen over Ni–Co metal catalyst (132 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Xun Hu mostly deals with Catalysis, Pyrolysis, Organic chemistry, Steam reforming and Coke. The Catalysis study which covers Nickel that intersects with Reaction intermediate. His Pyrolysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cellulose, Tar and Lignin.

His work in the fields of Organic chemistry, such as Furfural, Polymerization, Methanol and Levulinic acid, intersects with other areas such as Xylose. His studies deal with areas such as Furan and Furfuryl alcohol as well as Furfural. Xun Hu does research in Steam reforming, focusing on Methane reformer specifically.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (50.41%)
  • Pyrolysis (23.85%)
  • Organic chemistry (20.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Catalysis (50.41%)
  • Pyrolysis (23.85%)
  • Organic chemistry (20.87%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Catalysis, Pyrolysis, Organic chemistry, Carbon and Biochar. His Catalysis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Coke and Nickel. Xun Hu interconnects Hydrogen and Guaiacol in the investigation of issues within Coke.

His work focuses on many connections between Pyrolysis and other disciplines, such as Cellulose, that overlap with his field of interest in Thermal stability. When carried out as part of a general Organic chemistry research project, his work on Lewis acids and bases and Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory is frequently linked to work in Xylose, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. In his study, Nuclear chemistry is strongly linked to Acetic acid, which falls under the umbrella field of Steam reforming.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of the functionalities and structures of biochar in pyrolysis of poplar in a wide temperature range. (32 citations)
  • Mini-Review on Char Catalysts for Tar Reforming during Biomass Gasification: The Importance of Char Structure (31 citations)
  • Activation of molecular oxygen in selectively photocatalytic organic conversion upon defective TiO2 nanosheets with boosted separation of charge carriers (29 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Catalysis
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Xun Hu mainly investigates Catalysis, Pyrolysis, Biochar, Coke and Steam reforming. His study in Catalysis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cobalt and Nickel. The various areas that Xun Hu examines in his Pyrolysis study include Yield, Biofuel, Flocculation and Lignin.

His Coke research focuses on Nuclear chemistry and how it relates to Ionic strength, Aqueous solution, Endothermic process, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Langmuir adsorption model. Much of his study explores Steam reforming relationship to Acetic acid. His Acetic acid study is concerned with Organic chemistry in general.
