Aleksandr graduated Department of Chemistry (Lomonosov Moscow State University) in 2020. His scientific interests are focused on various approaches to synthesis of new framework-structures inorganic phosphates as electrode materials for batteries. His master thesis at MSU were devoted to preparation and investigation new family members of compounds, adopting KTiOPO4 structure type (AVPO4X, where A = K, Rb; X = O, F). The compounds of this structure type are believed as promising basis for creating materials for next generation of metal-ion batteries, due to their possibility reversibly de/intercalate Li+, Na+ and K+ ions even at high currents (up to 40C for Li+ in K0.15VPO4F framework, which is equivalent to 1.5 minutes).
