Andrei N. Khlobystov is a Professor of Nanomaterials at the University of Nottingham, UK. He serves as Director for Research for the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science and has been achieved many prestigious grants and awards during his career, including Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the European Young Investigator award, the Corday-Morgan prize in 2015.[1], and currently is the Director and Principal Investigator of the Metal Atoms on Surfaces and Interfaces EPSRC Programme Grant.
Early life and education
Andrei Nikolaevich Khlobystov (Russian: Андрей Николаевич Хлобыстов) was born in the Soviet Union (now Russia) in 1974. He obtained a Master of Science - Chemistry degree from Moscow State University in 1997, and was awarded a PhD in 2002 from the University of Nottingham under the supervision of Martin Schröder and Neil Champness.
Career and research
Prof. Khlobystov started his post-doctoral career at the Department of Materials, Oxford University (2002-2004) under Prof. Andrew Briggs, where he began exploring carbon nanotubes as nanoscale containers for molecules. He applied transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for imaging structures of individual molecules and studying their dynamic behaviour in direct space and real time, which shed light on intermolecular interactions, and the translation and rotational motion of molecules at nanoscale. In his time at Oxford he was part of the team that performed a chemical reaction inside carbon nanotubes (Guinness world record for the World's Tiniest Test Tube, 2005[2]).
In 2004 he moved to the University of Nottingham as a research fellow where he built the Nottingham Nanocarbon Group which has, amongst other things, demonstrated that nanoscale confinement can lead to new products inaccessible by other synthetic methods[3]. His team discovered important mechanisms of interactions between carbon nanostructures and molecules or nanoparticles which enabled the design of nanoreactor systems with tuneable size and functionality[4].
Since 2021 he has been PI for the MASI programme grant, which is investigating novel, solvent-free routes to preparing single metal atoms and metal nanoclusters on surfaces for use as catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis and carbon dioxide reduction.
To date, Prof. Khlobystov has published more than 130 scientific articles which have been references nearly 14,000 times[5][6]
