Alexandr Talyzin

Prof. Alexandr Talyzin is a Full Professor at the Department of Physics, Umeå University, specializing in graphene-related materials for energy storage and environmental applications. His research focuses on 2D materials (graphene oxide, MXenes, Covalent Organic Frameworks), high-surface-area carbons, and hydrogen storage. He leads the EU Graphene Flagship project and collaborates with institutions worldwide using advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering.

• Education: PhD from Uppsala University (2001), postdoc at Umeå University (2004–present).
• Key Projects: EU Graphene Flagship (2012–2023), Swedish Energy Agency-funded studies on supercapacitor materials.
• Research Highlights: Novel graphene oxide synthesis methods, super-oxidized carbons for radionuclide removal, and high-temperature microsupercapacitors.

His work bridges fundamental material science with applied technologies, emphasizing sustainability and industrial scalability. Recent innovations include non-toxic graphene oxide production and pine cone-derived activated carbons.
