Yevheniia Kholina successfully defends her PhD thesis
We are pleased to announce that Yevheniia Kholina has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation titled “Correlated disorder in Prussian Blue analogues: from understanding to control of the local structure”
In her work, Yevheniia has shown a mastery of disorder control in Prussian Blue analogues. She developed methods to grow these materials with carefully tuned levels of disorder, from very ordered to completely random, and everything in between. This control over local structure opens up new possibilities for materials scientists and chemists, who can now use disorder as an additional tool to optimize material properties, such as gas absorption and even tune the symmetry of materials, without changing chemical composition. Her work shows how structural imperfections can be purposefully engineered to enhance material performance.
