Abstract:

Energy and chemical engineering is a crucial industry that transforms primary energy sources such as oil and coal into secondary energy and chemical products, supporting national economic development and strategic security. Currently, this sector is undergoing profound changes driven by the need for low-carbon, intelligent, and sustainable development. This review systematically summarizes the advancements and key technologies in the decarbonization of traditional energy and the practical application of low-carbon energy. In the context of traditional energy decarbonization, the development of efficient processes is promoted through precise characterization of energy molecules and modeling of conversion processes, alongside directional catalytic conversion technologies for the green transformation of fossil fuels. In addition, the progress and application of long-duration, large-scale energy storage technologies are explored to enhance the utilization of renewable energy and support the construction of low-carbon energy systems. The application of intelligent technologies in optimizing energy storage performance, exemplified by flow batteries, is also discussed. Furthermore, the development of new catalytic reaction mechanisms and process equipment based on electromagnetic energy supply and multi-physical field coupling technologies fosters a deep integration of decarbonization and intelligence in traditional energy. Ultimately, the review concludes by envisioning the future of "energy and chemical engineering+artificial intelligence," advocating for a collaborative approach to advance low-carbon and intelligent transformations across molecular, process, equipment, and system optimization levels and integrating Chain-of-Thought-driven reasoning-oriented large language models, aiming for a more efficient and greener energy system to address global climate change and resource scarcity challenges.

Key words: Energy chemical engineering, Low-carbon, Artificial intelligence
