Recently, Professor Shi Xinjian from Henan University published a landmark article as the first author and corresponding author in Nature Catalysis. This achievement marks the first time that universities and research institutions in Henan Province have published research results in this journal under the first authorship; Moreover, among the newly recruited young teachers at Henan University, this study is currently the only example of the first corresponding author work published in the NS series core journal after joining, and also the shortest publication time among such journals by the main work unit.
This is the first research work in Henan Province to receive this honor, marking a new height in the influence and scientific research strength of our institute in the field of international catalysis.

Recently, Zhao Chengqian officially joined the PECat research group and became a member of the team. Before joining the research group, Zhao had already accumulated a certain academic foundation and research experience in the field of advanced oxidation processes. After joining the PECat research group, Zhao Chengqian will participate in the group's research work in the field of photocatalysis, especially taking on certain responsibilities in research projects related to catalysis. The members of the research group welcome the addition of Zhao and look forward to working together to further develop the research work of the research group.

In order to enhance the safety awareness and operational skills of the members of the research group, and ensure the smooth progress of laboratory work, the safety officer of the research group, Wang Liangbo, conducted a safety lecture on experimental equipment today. This event aims to strengthen laboratory safety management, prevent and reduce the occurrence of laboratory safety accidents.
Wang Liangbo, with his rich laboratory work experience and professional knowledge, provided a detailed explanation of the safety operating procedures for various experimental equipment in the laboratory. He emphasized the common safety hazards in the laboratory, such as electrical safety, chemical management, biosafety, etc., and provided corresponding preventive measures and emergency response methods. During the lecture, Wang Liangbo also shared some laboratory safety accident cases to warn everyone to strictly follow safety regulations during the experimental process. In addition, he also organ

The PECat research team has relocated from the Kaifeng campus to the Zhengzhou campus. This relocation provides the research team with more advanced experimental facilities and greater development space, and also enables the college to better integrate into the scientific research and industrial environment of Zhengzhou. After relocating to the Zhengzhou campus, the research team will be able to more conveniently utilize Zhengzhou's transportation network and scientific research resources, promoting academic exchanges and cooperation. As the provincial capital city, Zhengzhou has abundant opportunities for industrial cooperation and talent resources, which will contribute to the development of research projects by the research group.
