Professor Wei-Song Hung’s lab focuses on advanced graphene-based membranes for diverse applications, including water treatment, organic solvent nanofiltration, gas separation, CO₂ reduction, energy generation, and sensing. The team develops graphene composite membranes with tunable properties for high-efficiency separation in challenging environments. In water treatment, the membranes achieve effective contaminant removal and desalination. For organic solvents, they enable selective separations under harsh conditions. Research on gas separation emphasizes CO₂ capture and hydrogen purification, while CO₂ reduction studies target conversion into valuable products. The lab also designs membranes for energy and sensitive environmental sensors. Combining innovation and interdisciplinary research, the lab addresses global challenges with real-world impact.
