Abstract:
Nanofluidics, an emerging research area, attracts significant interest due to its unique behaviors and promising applications in separation, sensing, and energy conversion. With its atomic thickness, stable chemical/mechanical properties, and the ability to be functionalized, graphene serves as an ideal platform for studying nanofluid transport. We precisely controlled graphene pore sizes and tuned functional groups, which are crucial for optimizing transport properties. Furthermore, we aimed for real-world applications, fabricating large-area graphene membranes for advanced instrument (membrane-based total organic carbon analyzers). Graphene nanopores also show promise for high-resolution sensors and fine-tuning nanofluidic transport. My group advances nanopore fabrication, elucidates mass transport mechanisms, and explores its use in practical applications.

Prof. Luda Wang works in the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Micro and Nano Manufacture Technology, and the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies of Peking University since 2018. He received his Ph.D from University of Colorado boulder in 2014, and then joined Prof. Rohit Karnik’s group as a postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, 2014-2018). His research interests cover the areas of fluid transport at molecular level, micro and nano sensors, membrane separations, and advanced instruments. More than 50 articles have been published, including Nature Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, Science Advances, Nature Communications etc., along with 12 patents have been filed/authorized. Prof. Wang was granted by National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Key R&D Program of China, Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission etc. with more than 13 million CNY. Prof. Wang services as the Youth Editor for the Innovation, Acta Physico-Chimica Sinica and Academia Nano, and is the referee for Nature Sustainability, Nature Communications, PNAS, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Advanced Materials etc
