Biography

Professor Zhenyu Sun received his BSc. Degree in Material Science and Engineering in 1995 at Tianjin Polytechnic University, and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 2006 at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He worked at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, as a Postdoctoral Research fellow from 2006 to 2008, at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, as a Postdoctoral Research fellow from 2011 to 2014, and at Oxford University, UK, as a Postdoctoral Research fellow from 2014 to 2015. His research interests include exfoliation and dispersion of two-dimensional materials, and catalysis in energy-related reactions (e.g., CO2 conversion, and N2 reduction). He has published about 90 peer reviewed papers in international journals such as Nature Nanotechnology, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Advanced Materials, Chem, etc. from 2004 to date. These journal papers have been cited a total of ~ 6500 times to date. Zhenyu Sun has a research H-index of 32. He was awarded as an Alexander Humboldt Fellow in 2014. He is now working in the College of Chemical Engineering, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China.

Research Interest

Controlled synthesis and rational design of nanostructured catalysts through new schemes for heterogeneous catalysis (CO2 and Olefin conversion, etc.) and electrocatalysis (ORR, etc.) as well as the fundamental understanding of reaction mechanism. Physical Chemistry of carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes and graphene) involving their exfoliation, dispersion and functionalization.
