Xinjiang University

Xing Fan has made significant contributions to various fields of study, including coal chemistry, materials science, and biotechnology. Research on the composition distribution of thermal soluble organics from Naomaohu Lignite and structural characteristics of corresponding insoluble portions elucidates the chemical properties of low-rank coals. Additionally, studies employing two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry have shed light on the structural features of low-rank coals. Fan's work also explores catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of long flame coal and its model compounds, as well as developing strategies for obtaining lignin-based alkyl-free phenols under mild conditions. Furthermore, research on chemometrics, mass spectrometry, and microbial communities has expanded understanding of coal and biomass properties, while applications in supercapacitors, greases, and waste treatment have demonstrated the practical relevance of these findings.
