About
Lan Sun is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Xiamen University's College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, where she has held a faculty position since 2004 following her postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution. Her research focuses on advanced nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science, Nanjing University of Science and Technology (1987)
- Master of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (1990)
- Doctor of Tsinghua University (2001)
- Postdoctoral Fellow, Xiamen University (2002-2004)
Research Expertise: Dr. Sun specializes in Nanomaterials, Electrochemical Nanocomposites, and Environmental Applications, with significant contributions to Functional Materials and Energy Storage systems. Her work centers on designing nanometer-scale functional materials for high specific capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitors and anode foils, employing electrochemical methods to develop novel nanocomposites for sustainable energy solutions.
Publication Trends: Analysis of her 2015-2019 publications reveals a concentrated focus on titanium dioxide nanotube arrays modified with catalytic nanoparticles (perovskites, CdS, Bi2MoO6). These studies consistently target enhanced visible-light photoelectrocatalysis for solar hydrogen generation and environmental remediation, demonstrating interdisciplinary integration of materials science, electrochemistry, and environmental engineering.
Collaborative Networks: She maintains extensive research collaborations with Xiamen University colleagues including Changjian Lin and international partners, as evidenced by multi-institutional co-authorship across her publication portfolio in high-impact materials science journals.
