At the Rowland, the Wang Lab focused on designing novel nanomaterials for renewable energy and environmental applications including catalysis, rechargeable batteries, as well as CO2 treatment. They combined catalysis and battery studies to open up completely new opportunities for significant improvements in both areas. They also worked to design high-efficiency and high-selectivity catalysts to electrochemically reduce CO2 gas into hydrocarbon fuels for a complete loop of carbon cycle to prevent global warming.
