OverviewAI-generated summary
Wen Zhang's research focuses on materials science, particularly the development and application of novel materials for environmental remediation and energy conversion. Zhang has investigated the fabrication of piezoelectric materials, such as PVDF-based membranes and flower-like Co-doped MoS2 microspheres, for enhanced degradation of water pollutants like oxytetracycline. This work also extends to the development of composite materials, including nano-zero-valent iron modified biochar-zeolite, for the efficient removal of heavy metals such as cadmium and arsenic from water.
Further research has explored advanced oxidation processes for water treatment, including photo-Fenton degradation using sulfur vacancies-rich metal sulfides/MXenes activated by peracetic acid. Zhang's scholarly output includes 208 publications with 3,666 citations, contributing to a highly cited researcher designation. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Diksha Shrestha, Mary C. Savin, Sam Mortenson, and Aaron Long, with whom Zhang has co-authored shared publications. Zhang also leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research activities.
