- Specializations
Electrochemistry, Nanomaterials, Nanotechnology, Sensors, Energy Storage and Conversion, Water Desalination
- Biography
The main research thrust in GWang’s group is nanoelectrochemistry. We thrive to gain fundamental insights for better biomedical and energy applications. Electrochemistry is an interfacial science that studies charge transport behaviors. We study two types of charge behaviors at nanoscale interfaces: electron activities in noble metal clusters with few nanometer dimension; and ion transport (inorganic ions, metal clusters as nanomolecules, proteins and biomacromolecular complexes) at substrate-solution interfaces.
