V. I. Vernadsky Institute Of General And Inorganic Chemistry Nas Of Ukraine

Established in 1918 by Academician V.I. Vernadsky, the inaugural President of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, the V.I. Vernadsky Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine stands as a leading state nonprofit institution dedicated to advancing research in inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, and physical chemistry. The Institute's research endeavors span a comprehensive range of topics, including the development of novel functional inorganic substances, innovative coatings, and complex hybrid structures, all falling under the umbrella of advanced materials synthesis. Beyond this, the Institute conducts extensive electrochemical studies focusing on molten, liquid, and solid electrolyte systems, electrocatalysis, and photoelectrochemistry. Research explores heterogeneous coordination chemistry and the physical chemistry of diverse solutions, contributing significantly to the broader field of physical chemistry. A core objective of the Institute's work is the creation of novel compounds and materials essential for developing highly efficient, environmentally safe, and energy- and resource-saving "rational" technologies. This practical orientation extends to the crucial incorporation of secondary raw materials into production processes, thereby fostering a circular economy and significantly reducing environmental impact.
