Xin Li Phuah's research focuses on ceramic materials such as titania, ceria, zinc oxide, and lithium niobate, examining how electric fields, defects, and heat interact to change their structure and properties during processing. A major theme is 'flash sintering,' a technique where electric fields rapidly heat and densify ceramics, and the work explores how this affects grain growth, oxygen movement, and lattice changes. This research is relevant to developing improved materials for applications like batteries, sensors, and acoustic devices.
