Participants of the working meeting on the R&D projects "New Materials for Electric Drive Vehicles" and "Recycling Spent Batteries for Electric Drive Vehicles" from American party - Upendra S. Rohatgi, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Igor Barsukov, American Energy Technologies Company,Ukrainian organizations - O. Gogotsi, Materials Research Centre, M.Gubinskiy, NMetAU, S.Saenko, KIPT, and STCU representatives I.Tomashevskaya and N.Dudko.
Meeting and technological discussions on the project were held at MRC’s office and workshop premises. It focused on the intermediate results and deliverables of the project, conducted experiments, assembly, testing and launching equipment. Also there were discussed large volume of research, experimental, engineering, and production works carried out by MRC and other project participants.
MRC director O.Gogotsi presented to American partners and other project participants posters, detailed presesntations, describing the main results of MRC work done for more than a year. Meeting participants also visited MRC workshop premises, where equipment for technology line is manufactured and assembled.
The second day, on April 18, 2013, participants of meeting visited Gas Institute of NASU, where they demonstrated the operability of technological equipment manufctured within the project "New materials for Electric Drive Vehicles".
On the third day of the international meeting, April 19,2013, there was held a general meeting at Ukrainian Science and Technology Centre (STCU) with Deputy Executive Director Vic Korsun, Irina Tomashevska and Natalia Dudko (STCU), Upendra S. Rohatgi (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA), Igor Barsukov (AETC, USA), Michael Gubinskiy (NMetAU), Oleksiy Gogotsi (MRC), Sergei Saenko (KIPT). The meeting discussed results and a great scale of research and manufacturing work done, performed by participants in the two projects according to work schedules and deadlines of their performance.

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! Huge thanks to Research & Innovation Center for Graphene and 2D Materials (RIC2D) for hosting such a high-level event.It was an incredible opportunity to meet brilliant researchers and innovators working on the next generation of 2D materials. 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.
