About the project ...
Project Leader: Doctor of Technical Sciences, Prof. Iurii Bogomol (Department of High-Temperature Materials and Powder Metallurgy)
Project Duration: 2025–2028
Project Goal: The project aims to obtain new and improved high-entropy boride materials for use as supercapacitors and energy storage devices. To produce high-entropy boride powders with enhanced specific surface area, original methods and their combinations will be used, including sol-gel, high-energy mechanical alloying, and zone melting. XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, DSC, TG, and laser diffraction methods will be used to investigate the structure, specific surface area, phase and chemical composition, as well as the oxidation behavior of the finished powders. Electrochemical characteristics of high-entropy particles as electrodes will be characterized in asymmetric and symmetric configurations of devices.

About the project ...
Project Leader: Doctor of Technical Sciences, Prof. Iurii Bogomol (Department of High-Temperature Materials and Powder Metallurgy)
Project Duration: 2023–2025
Project Goal: The project is focused on the development of new materials for extreme operational conditions, particularly for ultra-high-temperature structural applications in key sectors such as aerospace, transportation, and energy production. The project aims to create crystallized ceramic eutectics based on refractory compounds, which, due to their high strength and structural integrity at the interfaces, can achieve high mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperatures. The expected outcome is an improvement in the high-temperature properties of reinforced composites by using high-entropy borides (HEBs) as a reinforcing component in the B4C-HEB system.
