Aromatic hydrocarbons are important precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols in the urban atmosphere, which have important impact on air pollution, climate change and human health. Thus the research on the oxidation mechanism of aromatic hydrocarbons has become one of the most challenging hotspots topics in atmospheric environmental chemistry. This paper reviews the recent studies of aromatic hydrocarbons oxidation mechanism, discusses the reaction channels and influencing factors during the oxidation process under high/low NOx conditions, and focuses on new discoveries and new theories in the studies of aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation reactions. In the atmosphere, the initiation of aromatic hydrocarbons is dominated by the reaction with the OH radicals. According to the different reaction products, the oxidation reaction of aromatic hydrocarbon is mainly divided into aldehyde pathway, phenolic pathway, bicyclic RO2 pathway and epoxide pathway. With the development of new theories such as the formation of polyhydroxy compounds by aldehyde pathway, alkoxy radical epoxidation reaction, intramolecular H-migration reaction of bicyclic peroxy radicals, 1,5-aldehydic H-shift reaction, and the generation of low-carbon products by CO-loss reaction, the understanding of aromatic hydrocarbons oxidation mechanisms has improved. However, due to the carbon missing and radical budgets imbalance problems in the existing oxidation mechanism, our understanding about the subsequent O3 and secondary organic aerosols formation mechanisms are very limited. Theoretical calculation and experiment are the main methods to study the oxidation mechanism of aromatic hydrocarbons. Mass spectrometry and spectroscopy are the dominant measurement techniques for the oxidation intermediates of aromatic hydrocarbons. Online mass spectrometry can capture the tracer intermediates at the molecular level, which plays an important role in revealing the oxidation mechanism of aromatic hydrocarbons. In recent years, tracer measurement technology, especially chromatography-mass spectrometry technology has developed rapidly. This open up a new direction for the accurate measurement of intermediates and the improvement of aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation mechanism. On this basis, improving aromatic hydrocarbons oxidation mechanism, paying attention to the carbon missing and radical budgets imbalance in the oxidation reaction, and exploring the environmental implication of aromatic hydrocarbons oxidation in the real atmospheric conditions are expected to become the important directions of aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation study in the future.
