Dr. Wen Zhang's research focuses on colloidal interfaces and processes that are crucial for environmental and chemical engineering applications. His expertise includes environmental behavior and interfacial processes for nanomaterials, microplastics and soft particles such as microbes and bubbles, reactive membrane filtration systems for desalination and emerging contaminant removal, photocatalysis for pollutant degradation and solar conversion into hydrogen, and microalgal removal and harvesting processing using magnetophoretic separation and membrane filtration processes. His current research also expands from agricultural applications of nanobubbles to lithium recovery from spent lithium ion batteries.
