Wang's group is interested in the development of functional nanofiber materials for industrialization, air and  water filtration, lithium ion battery, capacitors, catalysis, sensors and other applications through unique tools    including chemical synthesis, surface functionalization, and self-assembly techniques. By producing polyolefin nanofibers with well-controlled diameter and surface properties, we aim to not only fully utilize the big specific surface area of the nanofibrous membrane but also overcome many limitations such as nonconducting, less        functional group and so on, making it possible to design and fabricate new functional materials for filtration     and catalytic applications as well as novel electronic devices and sensors. Our research interests generally            include:
