Professor Sun’s current research interests focus on fabrication of porous functional materials (ranged from molecular sieves to MOFs and porous liquids) as well as their applications in adsorption and catalysis (such as carbon capture and conversion, light hydrocarbon separation, photo‑responsive adsorption, and single-atom catalysis). He is the principal investigator of various projects such as the National Key Research and Development Program of China, the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars, and the Distinguished Youth Foundation of Jiangsu Province. His work has led to more than 300 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Chem. Rev., Nature Commun., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and AIChE J. as well as around 20 patents. He also coauthored two books including Dictionary of Chemical Technology. He won awards including the First Prize for Basic Research from the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China, the Outstanding Contribution Award for Young Science and Technology from the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and the Hou Debang Youth Award for Chemical Science and Technology. The Sun group is recruiting postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates, and master's students with backgrounds in chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, computational science, and related fields.
