SKLEAC was promoted from the former Open Laboratory of Electroanalytical
Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and approved
by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China in July,
2001. It is the first state key laboratory in Analytical Chemistry
in China.
SKLEAC currently consists of 6 research groups and has 35
staff members, including 15 professors and 3 associate professors.
Most of the members have the study or work experience in the
western countries. Apart from strong technical support staff,
at the moment, there are over 80 graduate students undertaking
their professional trainings. The Lab is equipped with state-of-art
instruments, which are opening to its own members and visitors.
The members of the Lab were recognized many times in international
and national awards, such as “First Winner of 10th and
16th Kharazmi International Festival in Tehran (Iran)”,
“World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva
(Switzerland)”, “Liang Shuquan Analytical Chemistry
Award”, “Young Chemists Award of the Chinese Chemical
Society” and “Outstanding Youth Fund Award”.
Over 200 students have graduated from this Lab and 20 post-docs
have worked here. Indeed, their excellent performances were
highly rewarded. For example, 5 and 10 of them were selected
and given as the excellent and special award by the president
of the CAS, respectively. Three of them were awarded “The
best 100 Ph.D. theses in China” in recent years. They
are playing important roles in teaching, research and producing
in various fields of analytical chemistry.
The daily management of SKLEAC is under full responsibility
of the director. It has an Academic Advisory Committee whose
members are prominent scientists from different institutions
of the country and abroad. The Lab has carried out many national
key projects and published over one thousand scientific papers
over the years. There are 18 books (monographs) and over 80
patents resulting from the research of this Lab. Meanwhile,
fifteen novel instruments were also successfully manufactured.
Furthermore, the Lab is very active in the international scientific
exchange and collaborations. Over twenty research cooperation
agreements with related laboratories as well as institutes
in different countries and regions, such as Australia, Finland,
France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, USA
and UK have been signed. Over one hundred plenary and invited
talks were given in the international symposia and conferences
from the members of the Lab. According to the market survey
made by ISI and Elsevier for the period between 1993 and 1997
based on seven most popular electrochemical Journals, the
Lab reached the top ten groups in the world for the number
of publications. Two individuals from the Lab were positioned
within top one hundred and one was on the top list! Professor
Erkang Wang is the chief-editor of Chinese Journal Analytical
Chemistry. Professors Wang and Dong also serve in the Editorial
Board of ten international journals.
