Xueliang (Andy) Sun Ph.D.
Dr Sun’s research is associated with materials science and surface science. Particular interests in his lab are concentrated on nanostructured materials, including carbon nanotubes and nanowires. They involve in synthesis, characterization and applications towards sensing technologies and energy conversion. An important aspect in his studies is to apply various modern characterization techniques such as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning Auger microscopy (SAM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and electrochemical methods. His research is a mixture of fundamental studies and practical applications: • Synthesis, characterization and applications of carbon nanotubes • Synthesis, characterization and applications of nanowires • Chemical, electrochemical, optical and biological nanosensors • Fuel cells for clean energy • Coatings and thin films for corrosion protection of materials EducationB.Sc.

By this ResearcherRelated ContentResearchers Build Optical Nanostructures To Enable Self-Focusing LightAn international team led by Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science has built optical nanostructures that can control light dispersion and engineer the index of refraction. This control of light propagation via photonic chips could prove a major breakthrough for telecommunications.

Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites investigates the benefits of metal matrix carbon nanotube (MM-CNT) composites for large-scale applications. The book explores potential applications and applies the author’s own research to highlight critical developmental issues for different MM-CNT composites—and then outline novel solutions. With a problem-solving approach to MM-CNT composites, the book explores advantages, limitations, and the evolution of processing techniques; characterization techniques; and a wide range of research on different MM-CNT composites (with composition, processing method, quality of CNT dispersion, and properties).
