Dr. Zhenyu Sun holds a position of Professor at Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China. He has completed his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Postdoctoral Fellow in Analytical Chemistry from Center for Electrochemical Sciences (CES), Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, University of Oxford, UK and Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Dr. Zhenyu Sun has co-authored 74 peer reviewed papers (including 31 papers as the first author and/or corresponding author, and 2 papers as equally contributing author) in international journals such as Nature Nanotechnology, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Energy Materials from 2004 to date and also an inventor on 2 patents. Dr. Zhenyu received honors includes Alexander Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researcher, and Chinese Researcher Representative Award for the attendance of the 56th Nobel Laureate Conference in Chemistry held in Lindau, Germany. His main area of research interest focuses on Physical Chemistry of Carbon Nanostructures (carbon nanotubes and graphene) involving their Exfoliation, Dispersion and Fictionalization, and controlled synthesis and rational design of Carbon Nanostructure supported catalysts through new schemes for heterogeneous catalysis (i.e. CO2 hydrogenation) and electro catalysis (i.e. CO2 electrochemical reduction) as well as the fundamental understanding of reaction mechanism.
