OverviewAI-generated summary
Yong Wang's research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville focuses on the design and development of heterogeneous catalysts, energy storage, and energy conversion carbon-based materials. This work supports the pursuit of green energy technologies and the fundamental science underlying them.
Wang has co-authored over 140 journal articles and 40 patents, with a total of over 37,725 citations and an h-index of 91 across 610 publications. His group's recent publications investigate topics such as reversible hydrogen spillover in Ru-WO3-x for enhanced hydrogen evolution activity, tailoring local acid-like microenvironments for efficient neutral hydrogen evolution, and the strong oxide-support interaction over IrO2/V2O5 for pH-universal water splitting. Other work examines the coordination environment of active sites in heterogeneous catalysts, the decoupling of electronic and geometric effects of Pt catalysts in selective hydrogenation, and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphination.
He has received $50,000 in federal funding from the NSF as PI for the I-Corps program focused on the development of bent DNA molecules as amplifying sensors. Wang is recognized as a highly cited researcher and maintains an active laboratory website.
