Issue 23, 2022 - The 2022 IUPAC Top 10 Emerging Technologies in the Field of Chemistry was officially released

On November 28, at the closing ceremony of the 4th World Forum on Science and Technology and Development with the theme of "Openness, Trust and Cooperation", Shuai Zhigang, member of the IUPAC Executive Committee and vice president of the Chinese Chemical Society, officially released the "2022 IUPAC Top Ten Emerging Technologies in the Field of Chemistry"
.

The "2022 IUPAC Top Ten Emerging Technologies in the Field of Chemistry" are: sodium-ion batteries (Sodium-ion batteries);

Nanozymes; aerogels (Aerogels); Film-based fluorescent sensors; Nanoparticle megalibraries; Fibre batteries; Liquid solar fuels; Textile displays; Rational vaccines with SNA; VR-enabled interactive
modelling.

Professor Javier García-Martínez, President of IUPAC, said that through the release of ten emerging technologies in the field of chemistry, the importance of different chemical technologies to improve human well-being, promote industrial development, cope with climate change, protect people's health, and the importance of
responding through chemical science and technology are displayed.

Since 2019, with the 100th anniversary of its establishment, IUPAC has joined hands with chemical academic organizations from various countries and regions around the world, including the Chinese Chemical Society, to jointly launch the global activity
"Top Ten Emerging Technologies in the Field of Chemistry of the Year".
It is hoped that innovative technologies with great potential will be selected from around the world to change the current global chemical and industrial landscape and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
