Wu’s work explores the fundamental mechanisms and mitigation strategies in CO2 electrolysis, particularly addressing challenges like electrolyte flooding and catalyst loading minimization. Their expertise spans gas diffusion electrodes, ionomer solvent effects, and microenvironment engineering for enhanced electrochemical performance.

Their recent publications highlight innovations in thermal conductivity enhancement through nanodiamonds, boron nitride nanosheets, and graphene composites. While their primary focus is on renewable energy systems, they have also contributed to emerging areas like microglial synaptic pruning in neuroscience.

Collaborations with researchers such as Stampfl, Jiang, and Rufford underscore their interdisciplinary approach to advancing carbon-neutral technologies and material science applications.
