Abstract

This article presents a review of the application of blockchain and blockchain-based smart contracts in the chemical and related industries. We introduce the basic concepts of blockchain and smart contracts and explain how some of their features are enabled. We review several typical or novel applications of blockchain and smart contract technologies and their enabling concepts and underlying technologies. We classify the selected literature into five categories and discuss their motivations and technical designs. We recognize that the trend of decentralization creates a need to use blockchain and smart contracts to implement trust and distributed control mechanisms. We also speculate on future applications of blockchain and smart contracts. We believe that, in the future, blockchains with different consensus mechanisms will be studied and applied to achieve more efficient and practical decentralized systems. Also, blockchain-based smart contracts will be more widely applied to enhance autonomous distributed controls in decentralized systems. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Volume 13 is October 2022.

化工行业的区块链技术。

本文回顾了区块链和基于区块链的智能合约在化工及相关行业的应用。我们将介绍区块链和智能合约的基本概念，并解释它们的一些功能是如何启用的。我们回顾了区块链和智能合约技术的几个典型或新颖的应用，以及它们的使能概念和底层技术。我们将选择的文献分为五类，并讨论其动机和技术设计。我们认识到，去中心化的趋势创造了使用区块链和智能合约来实现信任和分布式控制机制的需求。我们还对区块链和智能合约的未来应用进行了推测。我们相信，在未来，不同共识机制的区块链将被研究和应用，以实现更高效、更实用的去中心化系统。此外，基于区块链的智能合约将更广泛地应用于增强分散系统中的自主分布式控制。预计《化学与生物分子工程年度评论》第13卷的最终在线出版日期为2022年10月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering aims to provide a perspective on the broad field of chemical (and related) engineering. The journal draws from disciplines as diverse as biology, physics, and engineering, with development of chemical products and processes as the unifying theme.
