The life of Yury Gogotsi is a constant back and forth between the top laboratories in the world, writing articles in the best scientific journals and research materials that can change the world around them. A scientist from Kyiv annually receives more than a million dollars on laboratory experiments, however, only abroad. To read lectures in the Ukraine, he was invited to the very rare.
The last few years, the Ukrainian head of American chemical laboratory, which was able to open a new kind of nanomaterials — MXene. If you do not go into the details, he will create a battery that will quickly accumulate energy in large quantities and as quickly to give her.

This development may give a new impetus to the development of alternative energy sources. In addition, these same MXene can protect from electromagnetic radiation or to convert sea water into drinking water. The spectrum is broad and only time will tell what the industry will adopt.
Professor says nanotechnology has long crept into our lives. Nanotechnology is a key that helps to create entirely new devices and materials.
Unfortunately, all of these studies would not be, if in the 1970s a student of the Kyiv Polytechnic University decide to go on a Humboldt scholarship in Germany. Even then it was clear that science develops where there is funding. In addition, scientists need the feeling that their work is important that their discoveries will be able to implement in the real enterprises. So next will be Japan, Norway and the United States.
Recently, the Ukrainian came back from China, one of the best universities of this country have agreed to establish a laboratory. I would like to pass my experience in Ukraine, but demand for his knowledge here, and this despite the fact that Gogotsi willing to share them for free.
Sad scientist and the passivity of Ukrainian students, because there are many opportunities to obtain scholarships in the amount of several thousand dollars per month, but filings from Ukraine is extremely small, but the Chinese or Indians are willing to grab such offers.
Despite the difficult situation in Ukraine and despite the ATO, Gogotsi insists on the agricultural sector and low-tech industry does not go far. The success of the country will bring modern technology.

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! 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.
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. Read the full article here: https://doi.org/10.1039/D4NR04853A.
Congratulations and thank you to our collaborators from TU Wien and CEST for very interesting work and making it published! In this work, an upscalable electrochemical MXene synthesis is presented. Yields of up to 60% electrochemical MXene (EC-MXene) with no byproducts from a single exfoliation cycle are achieved.
Congratulations to all collaborators with this interesting joint work!
