Wei Hong's recent work focuses on understanding atomic-scale defects in KH2PO4 (KDP) crystals, which are widely used in optical and laser applications, using first-principles computational methods to study how impurities like Zn, Ti, Cu, Fe, Al, and Ba affect crystal properties and laser damage resistance. Earlier work in the researcher's record spans a broader range of materials chemistry topics including catalysis, battery cathode materials, and metal-organic assemblies, suggesting a shift toward a more focused research direction in recent years.
