Research contributions

Presently, Professor Y. Gogotsi leads a scientific research group that develops new nanostructured carbon materials (nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamonds, [1] carbide-derived carbon, onion-like carbon) and works on the hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanostructures [2] and ceramics. He also contributed to development of effective water desalination and capacitive deionization techniques, electrical energy storage — batteries and supercapacitors, as well as applications of carbon nanomaterials for energy [3] [4] [5] and biomedicine.

Gogotsi's work (together with P. Simon) on the relations between the structure and capacitive performance of carbon nanomaterials led to a scientific progress in the field and ultimately resulted in the development of a new generation of supercapacitors that facilitate the storage and utilization of electrical energy. Prof. Yury Gogotsi produced several publications (Science, 2006; Science 2010; Science 2011, etc.), with the Simon/Gogotsi review in Nature Materials published in 2008 currently being the most cited article (Web of Science) in the electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) field.[ citation needed ]

Gogotsi was a part of the team that discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides — MXenes [6] that show exceptional potential for energy storage and other applications. He developed a general approach to synthesis of porous and low-dimensional materials using selective extraction of elements/components, which can be used to generate carbide-derived porous carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, 2D carbides, etc. [7] He described new forms of carbon, such as conical [8] and polygonal crystals. [9] He also discovered a new metastable phase of silicon. His work on phase transformations under contact load contributed to the field of high-pressure surface science. He was the first to conduct hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanotubes [10] and show the anomalous slow movement of water in functionalized carbon nanotubes by in situ electron microscopy. [11] This study ultimately led to development of nanotube-tipped single-cell probes. [12]

Gogotsi is the co-author of two books, editor of 14 books, [13] [14] [15] has more than 100 publications in conference proceedings, and more than 800 articles in peer reviewed journals, credited on more than 80 European and US patents (more than 30 licensed to industry) and more than 250 plenary, keynote and invited lectures and seminars. He has been cited over 100,000 times and currently has an h-index of 175 (Google Scholar) / 152 (Web of Science).

In the Stanford’s list of top 2% researchers in the world across all scientific disciplines, [16] Yury Gogotsi was ranked #53 in 2019 among all living and deceased scientists.

Education

In 1984 Yury Gogotsi received his Masters of Science (M.S.) degree in metallurgy from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Department of high-temperature materials and powder metallurgy.

In 1986 he received his Ph.D. Candidate of Science in Physical Chemistry (advisor – prof. V.A.Lavrenko), at that time — the youngest Ph.D. in Chemistry in Ukraine, from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

1995 he received a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree in Materials Engineering from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nanochemistry</span> Combination of chemistry and nanoscience

Nanochemistry is an emerging sub-discipline of the chemical and material sciences that deals with the development of new methods for creating nanoscale materials. The term "nanochemistry" was first used by Ozin in 1992 as 'the uses of chemical synthesis to reproducibly afford nanomaterials from the atom "up", contrary to the nanoengineering and nanophysics approach that operates from the bulk "down"'. Nanochemistry focuses on solid-state chemistry that emphasizes synthesis of building blocks that are dependent on size, surface, shape, and defect properties, rather than the actual production of matter. Atomic and molecular properties mainly deal with the degrees of freedom of atoms in the periodic table. However, nanochemistry introduced other degrees of freedom that controls material's behaviors by transformation into solutions. Nanoscale objects exhibit novel material properties, largely as a consequence of their finite small size. Several chemical modifications on nanometer-scaled structures approve size dependent effects.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to nanotechnology:

Green nanotechnology refers to the use of nanotechnology to enhance the environmental sustainability of processes producing negative externalities. It also refers to the use of the products of nanotechnology to enhance sustainability. It includes making green nano-products and using nano-products in support of sustainability.

Carbide-derived carbon (CDC), also known as tunable nanoporous carbon, is the common term for carbon materials derived from carbide precursors, such as binary (e.g. SiC, TiC), or ternary carbides, also known as MAX phases (e.g., Ti2AlC, Ti3SiC2). CDCs have also been derived from polymer-derived ceramics such as Si-O-C or Ti-C, and carbonitrides, such as Si-N-C. CDCs can occur in various structures, ranging from amorphous to crystalline carbon, from sp2- to sp3-bonded, and from highly porous to fully dense. Among others, the following carbon structures have been derived from carbide precursors: micro- and mesoporous carbon, amorphous carbon, carbon nanotubes, onion-like carbon, nanocrystalline diamond, graphene, and graphite. Among carbon materials, microporous CDCs exhibit some of the highest reported specific surface areas (up to more than 3000 m2/g). By varying the type of the precursor and the CDC synthesis conditions, microporous and mesoporous structures with controllable average pore size and pore size distributions can be produced. Depending on the precursor and the synthesis conditions, the average pore size control can be applied at sub-Angstrom accuracy. This ability to precisely tune the size and shapes of pores makes CDCs attractive for selective sorption and storage of liquids and gases (e.g., hydrogen, methane, CO2) and the high electric conductivity and electrochemical stability allows these structures to be effectively implemented in electrical energy storage and capacitive water desalinization.
