The future belongs to hydrogen energy! A team of polytechnic scientists under the leadership of PhD, Professor of the Faculty of technical Sciences N.V. Smirnova is sure of this, which is developing its own project to create fuel cells.

For the team of scientists of the Research Institute of Nanotechnology and New Materials of the YURSPU (NPI) under the leadership of the chief researcher, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Chemical Technologies V.M. Chernyshev, working together with Academician V.P. Ananikov, this year turned out to be intense and productive. In the first three months, Viktor Mikhailovich (co-authored with colleagues) published as many as three scientific articles in highly rated journals related to Q1.

The annual national exhibition "VUZPROMEXPO", a key event of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, held to demonstrate the achievements of Russian science and build effective communications between the scientific and educational community, the state and business, is coming to an end today in Sochi, on the territory of science and art "Sirius". The exhibition is attended by a delegation of representatives of the YURSPU (NPI) headed by Rector Yu.I. Razorenov and Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation V.S. Puzin.

Within the framework of the Federal Target Program "Research and Development in priority areas of development of the scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014-2020", scientists of YURGPU (NPI) together with an industrial partner - PTERO LLC – are working on a project on the topic "Mobile power plants on hydrogen fuel cells of the kilowatt power class: development of new materials, technologies, technological equipment". The first stage of joint work is completed, it's time to sum up the interim results.

In the March issue of the international scientific journal "Catalyst Science & Technology" (impact factor 5.726) published an article by Russian scientists "Preventing Pd–NHC bond cleavage and switching from nano-scale to molecular catalytic systems: amines and temperature as catalyst activators"\"Preventing Pd-NHC bond breakdown and transition from nanoscale to molecular catalytic systems: amines and temperature as activators " This is a study by a team of chemists of the YURSPU (NPI) under the leadership of Doctor of Chemical Sciences V.M. Chernyshev, conducted jointly with the N.D. Institute of Organic Chemistry. Zelinsky RAS and Lomonosov Moscow State University, not just got into the magazine, but decorated its cover!
