Background

Dr. Zhuyuan Wang is a Postdoc Research Officer at UQ Dow Centre in the School of Chemical Engineering. He is an active and frontline researcher in the field of membrane separation with over 6 years of experience. He used to work at a listed membrane manufacturing company in China (2016-2019), focusing on developing Polyamide Thin Film Composite (PA-TFC) for water treatment. He then commenced his Ph.D. research at Monash university (2019-2023, Monash) under the supervision of Prof. Xiwang Zhang and Prof. Huanting Wang.

Zhuyuan is currently interested in developing ion-exchange membranes, especially proton exchange membranes, and in their application around electrolyzers for green hydrogen production and CO2 electrochemical reduction.

Zhuyuan has firstly authored high profile peer-reviewed journal papers, including Nature communications and Progress in polymer science. He developed a scalable production method for quality 2D materials, which has been awarded twice as the “Best project of the year” from ARC Industry Transformation Research Hub for Energy-efficient Separation (EESep).

Available projects

  • Developing advanced Ion exchange membranes

    n exchange membranes play a pivotal role in various energy conversion and storage devices, from fuel cells to batteries and electrolysers. These membranes facilitate the selective transport of ions, which is critical for the performance and efficiency of these energy technologies. The current commercialised ion exchange membranes exhibit certain limitations, including low ion selectivity, vulnerability to dehydration, and insufficient mechanical strength, among other issues. To address the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions, this project aims to develop novel ion exchange membranes that exhibit improved transport properties, high selectivity, and long-term stability. This will involve the synthesis, characterization of new membrane materials and integration to enhance the efficiency and durability of these energy systems. We give priority to individuals who have relevant research or work experience in this field. Strong background in membrane or electrochemistry is an add-on.
