Selective oxidation

 She engaged in research on functional porphyrine complexes at University of British Columbia (Canada) as a visiting scholar in 1998. Following that, Gao spent her postdoctoral study at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) on synthesis and resolution of chiral compounds for which she won the Wang Kuancheng Postdoctoral Incentive Foundation of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and National Fund for Postdoctoral Scientific Research.

and Technology and First Prize of Liaoning Provincial Technological Invention. She has also undertaken a number of programs authorized by the state and enterprise organizations and acted as an editorial board member of Oxidation Communications journal in 2009.

Since homogeneous catalysis is featured with high selectivity and moderate reaction conditions, it remains an everlasting trending topic on how to change traditional oxidation methods by means of homogeneous catalysis to develop environmentally-friendly oxidation processes. However, homogeneous catalysts have been adversely limited in practical use as they are difficult to separate, recover and impossible to recycle. Instead, reaction-controlled phase-transfer catalysis, an innovative conception, was originally put forward by DICP, which was initially reported on Science (11 May 2001, Volume 292, pp. 1139-1141). With this catalysis system, catalysts are dissolved in the reaction system as homogeneous catalysts and precipitate from the system at the end of the reaction which become easier to separate, recover and recycle as homogeneous catalysts. For this purpose, we intend to develop new catalysis systems and new reaction processes through in-depth study on catalysis mechanisms of selective oxidation and how they should be applied.
