Wan-Hui Wang received his Ph.D. from Saitama University, Japan in 2011. Thereafter he carried out his postdoctoral research with Dr. Y. Himeda at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). In 2014, he joined the School of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering at Dalian University of Technology as an associate professor. His research interests lie in chemical energy storage and utilization of carbon dioxide. 

Xiujuan Feng received her Ph.D. from Dalian University of Technology in 2004. She then joined the same university as a lecture and was prompted to associate professor in 2010. She was a visiting scholar at University of Minnesota from 2014 to 2015. Her research interests include transformation and activation of CO₂, especially the reaction between epoxides, dienes and CO₂. 

Ming Bao received his M.S. from Northeast Normal University, China in 1989. After worked at the same university for eight years,
