Big thanks to E-MRS for this beatiful Jan Czochralski Award. The medal has 33.1 g of pure gold (99.9% Au). I thank my family, all my mentors, students, post-docs and excellent collaborators over the past 40 years who made this path of discoveries both possible and so enjoyable!
On this Thanksgiving Day, our paper with Patrice Simon from
@UT3PaulSabatier
reached exactly 17000 citations in Google Scholar! This paper has shaped the entire field. I'm thankful to Patrice for many years of friendship and productive collaboration!
One of the most impactful journals, Nature Materials, published unsolicited coverage of our MAX/MXene chemical scissors work, originally published in Science.
Thanks to the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) for this major recognition. This is a great honor and I'd like to acknowledge the entire team of
@drexelnano
and my outstanding collaborators. Without their help, very little would be done.
Congratulations to my PhD student Mark Anayee for winning the MXene Symposium Best Poster Award, the Best Spotlight Presentation Award and the MRS Best Poster Award Nomination at
#F22MRS
2021 Innovation Award winner: Prof. Yury Gogotsi (Drexel University) for his innovative work on synthesis and applications of inorganic nanomaterials, including

book:
MXenes: From Discovery to Applications of Two-Dimensional Metal Carbides and Nitrides 1st Edition, by Yury Gogotsi (Editor)
@2dMxenes
We are reporting in JACS on a major expansion of the
#MXene
family - 16 titanium carbonitride MAX phases and MXenes with 1 to 3 C/N layers, including MXenes in the Ti4(C1–yNy)3Tx system, which have not been previously reported.

I’m glas that scientists around the world read and cite our publications. This h-index is certainly the result of a team effort. Big thanks and congratulations to all my co-authors!
Congratulations to
@YGogotsi
as his h-index in
@Scopus
has reached 200!
Prof Gogotsi thanks generations of students & post-docs as well as many collaborators in the US and abroad who shaped several new materials research fields and opened many new research directions.
We developed a method for delamination of chlorine-terminated MXene produced using molten salt etching. The availability of single-layer hydrophobic
#MXene
may have an enormous impact on the field.
How to get your work published? Glad to share my publishing experience based on authoring/co-authoring more than 800 papers, and serving for more than 25 years on editorial boards, as Founding Editor, Associate Editor, Editor, and Honorary Editor-in-Chief:
Arrived in Warsaw to deliver my E-MRS Jan Czochralski Award Lecture and a seminar at the Warsaw University of Technology. A long line of E-MRS meeting participants waiting to get a badge.
Check my blog about our Nature Nanotechnology paper that shows that reflection and absorption of microwaves can be electrically modulated using thin MXene films.
It was great to see so much interest to my talk. Even with people sitting on floor and standing along the wall, many could not get into the room. Hope MRS will find a larger room for the MRS Communication lecture next year.
#MXenes
are the hottest topic in the materials field.
We are hosting Audrey Perju, a PhD student of Prof. Patrice Simon from Paul Sabatier Univ. Our collaboration started 18 years ago and produced about 60 joint papers. Our most cited publication is approaching 17 000 citations (Google Scholar)
@2dMxenes
Presented a keynote talk about MXenes in the opening session of Graphene 2024 - a clear sign of recognition of the importance of MXenes by the graphene community!
I'm glad to share our JACS paper on Mo2C
@2dMxenes
. Amanda Sfeir showed during her stay at
@drexelnano
that the
#MXene
functionalized by Co has catalytic activity for ammonia synthesis from hydrogen and nitrogen at temperatures as low as 250 °C.
Our paper "Scalable Synthesis of 2D Mo2C and Thickness-Dependent Hydrogen Evolution on Its Basal Plane and Edges" with Jiabin Wu et al. describes direct synthesis of 2D carbides from 2D oxides without MAX precursors.
@2dMxenes
2D metal carbides and nitrides—or MXenes—have several potential applications in energy storage and electronics. A new study reports the direct synthesis of MXenes by use of direct, scalable synthetic methods.
