Authors and Author affiliation
Authors: The order in which the authors’ names are listed should be agreed by all coauthors, since every author contributed and has responsibility for the published content. The email address of the corresponding author is required.
Author affiliation: The author affiliation should be the institution where the work was conducted. Complete addresses with post codes are required.
Abstract and Keywords
Abstract: An abstract is a summary of the content of the manuscript. It should briefly describe the research purpose, method, results, and conclusion. Highly specialized terms, special signs, figures, tables, and equations should be avoided, and citation of references is not allowed.
Keywords: A list of three to eight keywords should follow the abstract. The chosen keywords are required to reflect the theme of a manuscript.
Text
Introduction: The introduction provides the relevant research background and progress in the past 2–3 years, with references cited in numerical order. It presents the problem to be solved, and then describes the method adopted in the work. The aim of the research and its significance should be indicated. Do not use subtitles in this section.
Materials and method: This section lists the materials, method, and experimental procedure of the work, so readers can see clearly how the research was carried out and are able to repeat the work if needed.
Results and discussion: Research results, including data and models, are presented and discussed in this section. Tables and figures may be used. Be complete but concise. Only the most significant and representative data should be included. Extended or supplemental results should appear as “Supporting Information”. Avoid comparisons and speculations that are irrelevant or not supported by the results in the paper.
Conclusions: Conclusions should be derived from the observation and results in the paper. Do not summarize information already presented in earlier sections or fabricate conclusions to fit with the hypotheses or assumptions.
Figures and tables: Figures and tables should be numerically listed, inserted in the text, and cited in the order of appearance within the text.
Figures: The figures should have a resolution no lower than 600 dpi and clear lines of 5 px, with signs and letters in Arial at 7 pt. A space should always be maintained between the variable and the unit. The source files are strongly recommended to be uploaded as well as the main documents if there are vector graphics, such as *.org or *.opj files by Origin, *.cdr files by Coraldraw, *.cdx files by ChemDraw, *.ai files by Adobe Illustrator and *.psd files by Photoshop, etc.). Chemical structures should be produced with the use of ChemDraw. (ACS Documment 1996)/CoralDraw, with signs and letters in Arial at 7 pt. The source files are strongly recommended to be uploaded as well as the main documents.

Equations: All equations should be numerically numbered (Arabic numeral), with the number on its right side.
Acknowledgements: In this section, the author(s) express thanks to the people and/or organizations who helped with this work. Financial support should appear in this section with grant numbers.
Contributions: Contributions require a concise, focused account of the findings and of any reliable, essential data. They should be well organized, written clearly and simply, avoiding exhaustive tables and figures. Authors are advised to use internationally-agreed nomenclature, express all measurements in SI units, and quote all relevant references. Any nomenclature, signs, and/or abbreviations should be defined at their initial appearance.
References: Reference citation is regarded as an important indicator of the paper’s quality. If the relevant references are not cited, especially those published in the past 2−3 years; or if most citations come from publications of the authors themselves, it may reflect negatively on the paper. References should be numerically numbered and cited according to the order of appearance within the text, with the numbers expressed in square brackets. Carefully check the names of authors, the journal name, the year and the volume of the paper to be cited, and make the list according to the format for Sci. China Chem. discussed below.
Reference format
1. For an author's name, full spelling of the family name appears before an abbreviation of the given/first name, with no spacing in the middle.
2. All authors' names should be listed.
3. For correct abbreviations of journal titles, refer to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). For example, Sci China Chem for Science China Chemistry, Sci Bull for Science Bulletin.
4. For books and proceedings, the initial letter is capitalized for all notional words and for function words with more than 4 letters.
5. For any works references, do not forget to list the editors' names, the publisher, the publishing address, and the beginning and terminating pages.
6. Accepted but unpublished papers should be followed with "in press".

Extensive use of Supporting Information is encouraged. This section is for any supplementary material to be submitted with the manuscript. Once the paper is published, it will be available on the journal’s web site. Supporting Information is particularly useful for additional discussion, and/or for providing additional graphs, spectra, tables, and video/audio clips that are of interest to specialists.
Table of Contents graphic
A graphic for display must be included inside each manuscript in the table of contents (TOC) section. This graphic should capture the reader’s attention and, in conjunction with the manuscript title, should give the reader a quick visual impression of the essence of the manuscript without providing specific results. It should be in the form of a structure, graph, drawing, photograph, or scheme—or a combination of these forms, and have a size no larger than 8 cm×6 cm and an image resolution no less than 300 dpi.
