Research Overview
Wang Research Group aims to develop methodologies of leveraging a fundamental understanding of key properties in nanostructured soft materials into device-level development. The research interests of Wang Research Group lie in the interdisciplinary confluence of electrochemical engineering, polymer science, and nanotechnology.
We are especially interested in three themes:
1. Understanding ion/electron transport in nanostructured block copolymers and liquid crystals.
2. Developing efficient pH-gradient-enabled microscale bipolar interfaces for energy conversion and storage.
3. Engineering stand-alone structured liquid crystal membranes for efficient water treatment and energy storage.
