Congratulations to Our Ph.D. student, Geetha Valurouthu, and Our Former Group Members, Narendra Kurra and Simge Uzun, for the Publication of Their Paper in the Energy Storage Materials Journal

In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) Bode analysis was used to investigate charge storage dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) titanium carbide MXenes in aqueous electrolytes.

Congratulations to Our Ph.D. Students, Kanit Hantanasirisakul and Asia Sarycheva, for Successfully Defending Their Ph.D. Theses

Kanit Hantanasirisakul and Asia Sarycheva successfully defended their Ph.D. theses and now have joined DNI alumni. Their Ph.D. research shed light on some important aspects of optoelectronic properties (Kanit’s  Ph.D. research) and Raman spectroscopy (Asia’s Ph.D. research) of MXenes. Congratulations to both of them!

Professor Yury Gogotsi Delivered The Prestigious Manuel Cardona Lecture at The Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

On Monday, April 19th, 2021, Professor Yury Gogotsi delivered a highly prestigious Manuel Cardona Lecture at the Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) in Barcelona.

Cardona was a Barcelona-born physicist and one of Spain’s most prominent scientists, who was also one of the most cited physicists in the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Cardona). He also wrote (together with Peter Yu) one of the very best books on semiconductors.

Drexel University Helping to Start the First Trade Association to Support the Research and Development of MXenes

Drexel University is helping to establish a global trade association for researchers, manufacturers and companies that are working with MXenes. Called the MXene Association, it will serve as the professional body to establish standards and best practices, connect researchers and corporations and promote the research and development involving the materials.

Drexel is a charter founding member of the Association and will be represented by Yury Gogotsi, PhD, Distinguished University and Bach professor in Drexel’s College of Engineering, who will serve as the Association’s chief scientific advisor. 

Headed by Terrance Barkan, executive director of the Graphene Council, the MXene Association will be charged with supporting research, development and application of MXene materials through the dissemination of information, education and networking.
