About
Lizhong Wang is a materials scientist whose research focuses on the wetting behavior and surface engineering of gallium-based room-temperature liquid metals (LMs). Wang’s major contribution lies in elucidating how nanosecond-laser-structured metal surfaces control the wetting and adhesion of these unique fluids—critical for applications in flexible electronics, thermal management, and soft robotics. In their most-cited work (2022, 18 citations), Wang systematically investigated how surface topography and chemistry influence LM spreading, demonstrating that laser-induced micro/nano structures can dramatically alter contact angles and enable selective wetting. This work provides a foundational framework for designing robust, non-wetting or patternable LM interfaces. Beyond this, Wang has advanced understanding of LM oxidation and its role in interfacial behavior, offering practical guidelines for processing these reactive metals. Their research bridges fundamental surface science with scalable manufacturing, earning recognition for its potential to unlock next-generation stretchable circuits and self-healing materials. Wang’s findings are increasingly cited by engineers seeking to harness LMs in dynamic, real-world devices.
