 ), with the Simon/Gogotsi review in Nature Materials published in 2008 currently being well cited article in the electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) field.Professor Yury Gogotsi was a part of the team that discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides — MXenes 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.
