About

Yanguang Zhou is a pioneering researcher in the fields of nanofluidics, ion transport, and biomimetic membrane engineering, with a focus on advancing osmotic energy conversion and iontronic logic systems. His most notable contribution is the development of a biomimetic Janus MXene membrane that achieves bidirectional ion permselectivity—a breakthrough that overcomes the long-standing limitation of conventional membranes, which only permit unidirectional cation or anion transport. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2025 paper (17 citations), enables enhanced osmotic effects and introduces iontronic logic control, mimicking biological signal transmission for sustainable energy and smart device applications. Zhou’s work bridges fundamental ion transport physics with practical membrane design, offering transformative potential for blue energy harvesting and next-generation ion-based computing. With a growing citation impact, his research is recognized for its interdisciplinary reach, influencing fields from materials science to bioelectronics. Zhou continues to push the boundaries of selective ion transport, positioning himself as a leading voice in the quest for efficient, bio-inspired nanofluidic systems.
