Yury Gogotsi

Gogotsi's work (together with P. Simon) on the relations between the structure and capacitive performance of carbon nanomaterials led to a scientific progress in the field and ultimately resulted in the development of a new generation of supercapacitors that facilitate the storage and utilization of electrical energy.

), with the Simon/Gogotsi review in Nature Materials published in 2008 currently being the most cited article (Web of Science) in the electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) field.

[citation needed] Gogotsi was a part of the team that discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides — MXenes[6] that show exceptional potential for energy storage and other applications.

In the Stanford’s list of top 2% researchers in the world across all scientific disciplines,[16] Yury Gogotsi was ranked #53 in 2019 among all living and deceased scientists.
