That research projects were organized by the U.S. Department of Energy (United States Department of Energy (DoE), Argonne National Laboratory, USA, for the development of new batteries for electric drive vehicles.
Main objective of that projects is to develop and manufacture a number of experimental and new lines of experimental equipment for the development of technologies and materials for manufacturing of batteries for electric drive vehicles.
Final Technical Meeting on International R&D Project P483 “New Materials for Electric Drive Vehicles”, August 7th, 2013
Meeting of Ukrainian participants of the project P483 "New materials for electric drive vehicles" and U.S. partners was held in the MRC office and work premises on August 7th 2013. It was attended by P483 project technical monitor Dave Carter and Andrew Castiglioni (Argonne National Laboratory, USA), American partner Igor Barsukov (American Energy Technologies Company, USA), P483 project manager S.Saenko (KIPT), O. Gogotsi (Materials Research Centre), M.Gubinskyi (NMetAU), and STCU representatives- STCU’s Deputy Executive Director (USA) Vic Korsun, I.Tomashevskaya (STCU).
The participants have summed up the project P483 on manufacturing experimental equipment for pilot technological line. Also packaging and transportation and subsequent mounting in the United States have been discussed. Complex of experimental equipment designed, manufactured and assembled by MARC due to the project, was demonstrated to American party. Shown equipment is completely ready for shipment to the customer.
Technical Meeting and Discussion on International R&D Project P482 "Recycling Spent Batteries for Electric Drive Vehicles", August 8th, 2013
MRC was visited by US project manger Upendra S. Rohatgi (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Igor Barsukov (American Energy Technologies Company), Ukrainian P482 project manager M.Gubinskyi (NMetAU), S. Fedorov (NMetAU), O. Gogotsi (Materials Research Centre), V.Lutsenko (DO Yuzhnoe), Ya.Tyrygin (DO Yuzhnoe), and STCU representatives - STCU’s Deputy Executive Director from USA Vic Korsun and N.Dudko (STCU).
The workshop took place in the production of Material Research Centre, which discussed work issues on manufacturing equipment due to the project P482. At the work premises of MRC was presented developed and already manufactured, completely and partly assembled units and items of equipment for technological line.
Meeting with Expeditor on Packing and Transportation of Equipment Manufactured by MRC due to the Project P483 “New Materials for Electric Drive Vehicles”, August 28th, 2013
P 483 project collaborator Joseph Doninger (Dontech Global Inc., USA) and STCU’s Deputy Executive Director (USA) Vic Korsun visited MRC to discuss work issues on packing and shipment of completed equipment with expeditor and MRC Director O.Gogotsi.
Highlights
We are excited to share that our Carbon-Ukraine (Y-Carbon LLC) company participated in the I2DM Summit and Expo 2025 at Khalifa University in Abu-Dhabi!

The insights and energy from the summit will definitely drive new ideas in our own development.
Carbon-Ukraine team had the unique opportunity to visit XPANCEO - a Dubai-based deep tech startup company that is developing the first smart contact lenses with AR vision and health monitoring features, working on truly cutting-edge developments.
Our Carbon-Ukraine team (Y-Carbon LLC) are thrilled to start a new RIC2D project MX-Innovation in collaboration with Drexel University Yury Gogotsi and Khalifa University! Amazing lab tours to project collaborators from Khalifa University, great discussions, strong networking, and a wonderful platform for future collaboration.
MXenes potential applications include sensors, wound healing materials, and drug delivery systems. A recent study explored how different synthesis methods affect the safety and performance of MXenes. By comparing etching conditions and intercalation strategies, researchers discovered that fine-tuning the surface chemistry of MXenes plays a crucial role in improving biocompatibility. These results provide practical guidelines for developing safer MXenes and bring the field one step closer to real biomedical applications.
An excellent review highlighting how MXene-based sensors can help tackle one of today’s pressing environmental challenges — heavy metal contamination. Excited to see such impactful work moving the field of environmental monitoring and sensor technology forward!
Carbon-Ukraine team was truly delighted to take part in the kickoff meeting of the ATHENA Project (Advanced Digital Engineering Methods to Design MXene-based Nanocomposites for Electro-Magnetic Interference Shielding in Space), supported by NATO through the Science for Peace and Security Programme.
Exellent news, our joint patent application with Drexel University on highly porous MAX phase precursor for MXene synthesis published. Congratulations and thanks to all team involved!
Our team was very delighted to take part in International Symposium "The MXene Frontier: Transformative Nanomaterials Shaping the Future" – the largest MXene event in Europe this year! 
Last Call! Have you submitted your abstract for IEEE NAP-2025 yet? Join us at the International Symposium on "The MXene Frontier: Transformative Nanomaterials Shaping the Future" – the largest MXene-focused conference in Europe this year! Final Submission Deadline: May 15, 2025. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to showcase your research and engage with world leaders in the MXene field!
We are excited to announce the publication of latest review article on MXenes in Healthcare. This comprehensive review explores the groundbreaking role of MXenes—an emerging class of 2D materials—in revolutionizing the fields of medical diagnostics and therapeutics.
