Scientists recognized for their innovative work in advanced
materials research
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the
selection of Distinguished Professors Michel Barsoum and Yury
Gogotsi at Drexel University and Professor Ananda Amarasekara at
Prairie View A&M University as recipients of an Agilent
Solutions Innovation Research Award (SIRA). The three honorees will
receive separate awards for their research into materials to
advance energy storage technology.
Environmental issues related to decades of fossil fuel use have
sharply highlighted the need for more efficient and durable
batteries. Creating global energy resources that are both renewable
and sustainable presents a significant technical challenge:
developing new materials to improve the performance, longevity, and
recyclability of commercial energy storage solutions.
Professors Barsoum and Gogotsi are recognized for their efforts
to develop nanomaterials for battery/electrochemical energy storage
applications, including the development and study of MXenes – a new
class of 2D materials made from transition metals – which they
co-discovered in 2011. Professor Barsoum’s award includes a
one-year loan of an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ system; Professor
Gogotsi’s award consists of a one-year loan of an Agilent 5900
ICP-OES system.
Professor Amarasekara is recognized for his research into
renewable electrical energy storage technologies and sustainable
biofuels – specifically, developing a new energy-efficient and
inexpensive method for recovering valuable metals from spent Li-ion
batteries. Professor Amarasekara’s award consists of a one-year
loan of an Agilent 7900 ICP-MS system.
Keith Bratchford, vice president and general manager of
Agilent's Atomic Spectroscopy Division commented of the
significance of the awards: “Agilent is proud to acknowledge the
groundbreaking work of Professors Michel Barsoum, Yury Gogotsi, and
Ananda Amarasekara. In a world seeking sustainable solutions and
better energy storage, advanced materials and battery research hold
immense importance; it is the catalyst for innovations that will
reshape industries and drive technological advancements. By delving
into advanced materials and battery technologies, we lay the
groundwork for a more sustainable and resilient future. Agilent is
proud to be a part of this transformative journey, with our atomic
spectroscopy products playing a pivotal role in enabling and
advancing crucial research in these areas.”
Professor Barsoum stated: “We are excited about this award. The
Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ system is a critical piece of equipment we now
need to continue and enhance our research on advanced energy
storage technology.”
Professor Gogotsi added: “The Agilent ICP optical emission
spectrometer will allow us to quickly analyze trace elements in
water. Its availability will facilitate the development of MXene
membranes for water desalination and purification, as well as
energy storage and harvesting. ICP metals analysis will also allow
us to control the removal of lithium and other ions from MXenes
when we wash and delaminate them, thus improving the purity of new
2D materials that we discover and develop in our lab.”
Professor Amarasekara stated: “We are encouraged by this award
and continued collaboration with Agilent. The loaned instrument
will be put to good use in our Li-ion battery recycling project as
well as in environmental science research programs. The experience
gained using this ICP-MS will be useful in developing our future
research plans and departmental analytical instrument
inventory.”
Agilent established the SIRA initiative in 2023 to stimulate
innovative and impactful use of its products to help solve pressing
scientific problems in academia. These awards underscore Agilent’s
commitment to facilitating university research and enhancing
awareness of and access to its portfolio of analytical
solutions.
