Overview
Background
Dr Kaige Sun is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ARC Centre of Excellence for Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide (GETCO2) and UQ Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation at The University of Queensland. He received his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of Queensland, where his research focused on electrochemical ion separation and selectivity. His current main research interests centre on green electrochemical techniques for energy and environmental applications, such as electrochemical CO2 capture and conversion, electrochemical deionization, and the development of advanced biomass-derived electroactive materials. To date, he has published over 27 peer-reviewed publications in Nature indexed/top-tier journals, including Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Materials, Environmental Science & Technology, Chemical Reviews, etc.
Topics related to current research interests:
1. Energy-efficient electrochemical CO2 capture and direct air capture
2. Tailoring microenvironment for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to valuable chemicals
3. Electrochemical ion separation and recovery
4. High-value utilization of biomass to electroactive materials
