About William
Dr. William Wen serves as a Lecturer in the School of Environment and Science at Griffith University, affiliated with the Environmental Science and Chemistry group specializing in Materials and Analytical Chemistry. He holds a PhD and focuses his research on the theoretical investigation of structural, electronic, and mechanical properties of two-dimensional materials, including MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and carbon nitrides. Additional research interests encompass energy storage devices, plasma-catalytic oxidation, photoelectrochemical processes, and degradation of organic pollutants. His work contributes to advancements in clean energy technologies and environmental remediation, often conducted at the Centre for Clean Environment and Energy on the Gold Coast Campus.
With 28 publications garnering 1,393 citations, Dr. Wen has made notable contributions to materials science. Key publications include 'Halogenation Effect on Physicochemical Properties of Ti3C2 MXenes' (2023), 'Vacancy impacts on electronic and mechanical properties of MX2 (M = Mo, W and X = S, Se) monolayers' (2023), 'Theoretical understanding of electronic and mechanical properties of 1T′ transition metal dichalcogenide crystals' (2022), 'Mechanical properties of lateral transition metal dichalcogenide crystals' (2021, cited by 46), 'Multiscale numerical simulation of in-plane mechanical properties of two-dimensional monolayers' (2021), 'Oxygen-terminated M4X3 MXenes with superior mechanical strength' (2021), 'DFT-Guided Design and Fabrication of Carbon-Nitride-Based Materials' (2021, cited by 191), and 'Carbon Nitride Nanofibres with Exceptional Lithium Storage Performance' (2018, cited by 96). Earlier works feature 'Rapid Photoelectrochemical Method for in Situ Determination of Phthalic Acid' (2009) and developments in CNTs/TiO2 photoanodes (2010). Dr. Wen convenes the undergraduate course 'Chemistry of Biological Systems I' (1001MSC), supporting chemistry education at Griffith University.
