Achievements of XTU Won Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Award

2012 Hunan Commendation Conference for Outstanding Scientific and Technical Staff was held on the morning of April 19. Five scientific and technical achievements of Xiangtan University were awarded, marking a new high of scientific R & D and innovative abilities of the school. Prof. Zhong Jianxin and Prof. Luo He’an attended the meeting and received the awards.

Two achievements won the first prize and the rest won the second prize. Among them, Properties and Regulation of Low-dimensional Nano Structure (by Zhong Jianxin, Chen Yuanping, Mao Yuliang, Sun Lizhong, Xie Yue’e, Zhang Kaiwang) won the first prize of 2012 Hunan Province Natural Science Award, Technology of Cyclohexanone Oxime Beckmann Multilevel Rearrangement Reaction (by Luo He’an, Kuang Zhigang, Wu Jian, Huang Jiang, Yuan Xia, Fan Zhuangzhi, Li Xuenong, Li Xianhua, You Kuiyi) was honored with the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award. Metals and Oxides/Polymeric Material of Photoelectromagnetic Functions and Device Research (by Tan Songting, Liu Enhui, Xie Shuhong, Zhao Bin, Shen Ping) obtained the second prize of Hunan Province Natural Science Award. Preparation Method of Cathode Material of Lithium Secondary Battery FeF3 (H2O) 0.33 (by Wang Xianyou, Wu Wen, Wang Xin, Liu Li, Yi Lanhua) got the second prize of the Technological Invention Award. Resource Integrating and Sharing of Core Government Information—Taking Archives Informatization Construction in Hunan as an Example (by He Zhen, Jiang Guan, Wang Xiezhou, Qiu Zhuangli, Xiang Liwen) won the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award.

The project of Properties and Regulation of Low-dimensional Nano Structure accomplished by Zhong Jianxin made great innovations and breakthroughs in electronic structure & band engineering of low-dimensional Nano system, Electron-phonon transport & quantum control of low-dimensional Nano system, and growth mechanism & thermal stability of low-dimensional Nano structure. Prof. Zhong has published 94 theses on SCI, and his theses have been cited by SCI for over 700 times. Also they are introduced by Nature China、Nature Nanotechnology、Advances in Physics、Reports on Progress in Physics and other international top periodicals as research highlights and impressive progress.

The project of Technology of Cyclohexanone Oxime Beckmann Multilevel Rearrangement Reaction headed by Prof. Luo He’an digested, absorbed and adjusted the key step of caprolactam industry—technology of cyclohexanone oxime Beckmann multilevel rearrangement. Optimization and upgrading was achieved during the research and development, tackling difficult technical problems of low productivity, many by-products and unstable quality of the originally introduced technology, and breaking technical monopoly of other countries for decades of years. It was of positive and profound significance to balancing domestic supply and demand of caprolactam, developing caprolactam and its downstream industries, and forming competitiveness against foreign enterprises.
