Piotr Krawczyk

Prof. Dr. hab. Piotr Krawczyk is a Professor at Poznań University of Technology, Faculty of Chemical Technology, where he serves as Deputy Director of the Institute of Technical Chemistry and Electrochemistry. He is also a Member of the Disciplinary Council, Faculty Council, and the Polish Coal Society. His academic career spans over two decades at the university, where he has established himself as a leading researcher in carbon materials and electrochemistry.

His educational background includes:

• 1994: Master's Degree from the Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University
• 2000: PhD from the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Poznań University of Technology
• 2014: Habilitation from the Faculty of Chemical Technology, Poznań University of Technology
• 2015: Professor at Poznań University of Technology

Prof. Krawczyk's research focuses on advanced carbon materials and their applications in electrochemistry. His work spans several interconnected areas:

• Graphite science: intercalation, reintercalation, exfoliation, modification, regeneration of graphite materials
• Graphene development: preparation, characterization, modification, and practical applications of graphene
• Environmental electrochemistry: developing electrochemical solutions for environmental protection
• Energy storage: carbon materials for chemical power sources and electrochemical capacitors
• Material treatment: ozone treatment of carbon materials to enhance their properties

His recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate a strong focus on advanced carbon materials for energy and environmental applications. A significant portion of his work involves graphite intercalation compounds, graphene-based materials, and their applications in electrocatalysis, particularly for methanol electrooxidation in fuel cells. His research shows a clear trajectory toward developing practical applications of carbon nanomaterials, with increasing emphasis on composite materials and their industrial implementation.

While specific awards aren't detailed in the available information, Prof. Krawczyk has established significant scientific collaborations with:

• NanoBioMedical Center of Adam Mickiewicz University
• Clinic of Prosthetics, Faculty of Medicine II, Poznań University of Medical Sciences
• Department of Basic Medical Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz

Prof. Krawczyk actively supervises doctoral students, with Bartosz Piotr Gurzęda successfully defending his dissertation on "Exfoliation processes of graphite oxides obtained electrochemically" in 2017. His teaching responsibilities include lectures on Basics of Electrochemical Technology and Ecological Electrochemistry, laboratory classes, and doctoral seminars. His research has resulted in numerous intellectual property rights, including several inventions related to graphite processing and carbon material modifications.

His research is conducted within the Department of Applied Electrochemistry at the Institute of Technical Chemistry and Electrochemistry. His work bridges fundamental materials science with practical applications, particularly in energy storage and environmental protection technologies. The interdisciplinary nature of his research is evident in his collaborations across chemistry, materials science, and medical fields.
