About

Wen‐Wei Wu is a leading researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics and smart materials, whose work bridges the gap between fundamental materials science and practical device engineering. His most impactful contribution lies in pioneering van der Waals heteroepitaxy to create flexible ferroelectric elements. In his highly cited 2017 work (238 citations), Wu demonstrated the direct fabrication of single-crystalline lead zirconium titanate (PZT) on flexible mica substrates, proving that high-performance, nonvolatile memory devices can be made bendable without sacrificing reliability—a breakthrough for wearable and flexible electronics. Beyond ferroelectrics, Wu has advanced intelligent, stimuli-responsive hydrogels. His 2020 study introduced a graphene oxide/poly(NIPAM-co-β-cyclodextrin) supramolecular hydrogel with rapid photothermal response and self-healing capabilities via host–guest interactions. This material enables light-controlled switches, showcasing his ability to integrate molecular design with macroscopic functionality. With a citation record exceeding 260 total citations, Wu’s work is shaping the future of flexible, adaptive, and self-repairing electronic systems.
