近代科学技术的重大突破基本上已经不再是靠单一学科和专业知识所能实现的，往往是多学科知识的综合积累与升华的结果，这就要求知识结构的不断更新和多元化、学科的交叉和互补。介于此，开设该课程的宗旨就是要扩大学生的知识面，改善其知识结构，培养其独立从事科学研究、技术开发和不断创新的能力。该课程主要由化学化工学院各专业的学术带头人和骨干讲授应用化学众多领域的最新研究动态和未来发展的可能方向，并结合所在研究小组的科研项目，介绍应用化学的新理论、新技术和新成果。课程由若干专题组成，包含新材料、新能源、生物、医药、环保等领域。主要内容：阐述化学工程与技术学科,特别是应用化学学科的现状与发展趋势，介绍无机合成化学与纳米材料科技、精细有机合成、应用电化学、新能源化工技术、计算化学与分子模拟、催化与反应工程科学与应用、新型化学电源等领域的研究进展。展望化学化工在新能源、新材料、生物医药、环境保护和信息技术中的应用前景。主要包括：（1）燃料电池技术：重点介绍质子交换膜燃料电池系统的操作、催化电极材料和质子交换膜的制备工艺和技术路线等；（2）绿色化学电源：主要介绍二次锂电池系统、正负极材料和锂离子导体的制备和电化学性质；（3）纳米材料技术；（4）光电化学：重点为光电化学原理、光催化制氢和色素敏化光电化学电池；（5）不对称催化及其在药物中间体合成方面的应用；（6）精细有机化学品开发：环保型润滑添加剂，天然有效物质的超临界萃取技术；（7）重原子体系的电子结构：借助量子理论研究重原子体系的几何和电子结构并预测相关材料的光学性质和电性质；（8）配位化学的新进展。

The breakthrough in modern science and technology is mostly achieved by integration and sublimation of multi-subject knowledge, which is based on continuous renovation of the knowledge structure, and cross-linking and inter-complementation of various subjects and knowledge. Opening this course is to widen the knowledge range of students, improving the knowledge structure, and promoting the ability of scientific research and technology innovation. Research group leaders from different research fields in School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering will give advanced lectures on the newest research trends and possible development direction of applied chemistry, and combining with the respective research projects, introduce new theories, new technologies and new results of applied chemistry. The course consists of some special topics covering new materials, new energy sources, biology, medicine, environmental protection and others. The main contents include: (1) Fuel cell technology: concentrating on PEMFC system operation, preparations of catalytic electrodes and electrolyte membranes; (2) Green-type power sources: mainly concerning secondary lithium batteries, preparations and electrochemical performance of electrode materials and electrolytes; (3) Nano-material technology; (4) Photoelectrochemistry: principle and theory, photocatalytic electrolysis of water for hydrogen production, photoelectrochemical cells based on photosensitized dye; (5) Asymmetric Catalysis and its Application on the Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Intermediates；(6) Fine organic chemicals development: environment-friendly lubricating additives, supercritical extraction technology for natural active components; (7) Electronic structures of heavy-atom systems: by means of quantum mechanics to investigate the geometric and electronic structures of heavy atomic systems. Based on the results, the photic and electric properties of the related materials can be predicted; (8) New development in coordination chemistry.
