New ICN2 Manuel Cardona Lecture by Prof. Yuri Gogotsi on 2D Carbides and Nitrides

by Oriol Roig

Prof. Gogotsi works on 2D carbides, nanostructured carbons, and other nanomaterials for energy, water and biomedical applications. On April 22, 2021, Prof. Gogotsi offered a Manuel Cardona Lecture. ICN2 invites you to enjoy Prof. Gogotsi’s inspiring talk.

The ICN2 had the honour of hosting a Manuel Cardona Lecture by Prof. Yuri Gogotsi, a Distinguished University Professor and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University. This talk was held online on April 22, 2021.

His research focuses on the fundamental aspects of synthesis, characterization, and application of carbon nanomaterials (graphene, nanotubes, nanodiamond and nanoporous carbons) and 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) for energy, water and biomedical applications. In this field he has won several awards, including the ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials, Gamow Prize, European Carbon Association Award, and S. Somiya Award from IUMRS.
