Bagotsky’s collaborators

Leonid Solomonovich Kanevskyi (1936-2015), PhD 1971 was devoted to adsorption and electrocatalysis at platinum single crystals on the inert supports.

Olga Alekseevna Khazova (1933-2023) was a graduate of Moscow Chemical-Technological Institute (МХТИ). She completed her PhD on methanol adsorption and oxidation on platinum in 1965, and became the closest collaborator of V.S. Bagotsky and Yu.B. Vassiliev in further fuel cell oriented research.

Natalia Aleksandrovna Mayorova

Alla Aleksandrovna Mikhailova (Dmitrieva), 1965 Moscow Univ graduate, participated in the studies of organic molecules oxidation on platinum. Her 1980 PhD thesis is devoted to promotion of these processes using tin.

Emil’ Aleksandrovich Mendzheritskyi was Bagotsky’s close associate in the Institute of Power Sources.

Lev Nikolaevich Mokrousov

Nina Vladimirovna Osetrova

Villi Shelevich Palanker graduated from Moscow Chemical-Technological Institute (МХТИ) and moved to Frumkin Institute from the Institute of Power Sources as a member of Bagotsky’s team. His 1967 PhD thesis was devoted to ‘double layer’ on mercury in concentrated solutions and low-temperature melts. The next topic was Pt-support interaction in respect to electrocatalysis of hydrogen reactions. In early 1970s he decided to leave for Israel, but could not obtain the permission from soviet authorities for many years. In a hope to enhance this procedure (more fast in national republics of the USSR) he left for Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, where he was employed in the Institute of Organic Catalysis and Electrochemistry headed by D.V. Sokolsky. There are five excellent Palanker’s articles of Alma-Ata period, on tungsten carbide electrocatalyst, published in 1975-1977 in international journals. Later he left for Yerevan, Armenia, and was finally allowed to immigrate already in 1980s.

Yuryi Mikhailovich Povarov (1936-1983) was 1958 graduate of Moscow University. In the Institute, he first studied non-aqueous solutions with Yu.M. Kessler, here is the earliest 1959 article we found (English translation). His 1964 PhD thesis addressed thermodynamics of electrolyte solutions in molecular solvents of high permittivity. Then he worked with P.D. Lukovtsev for certain period (the study of some redox reactions was related to electrochemical transducers). Finally, was involved into lithium batteries research and was in time to complete some studies (thionyl chloride reactions, lithium electrode behavior in aprotic media) before his untimely death.

Alexander Matveevich Skundin

Galina Vladimirovna Steinberg (Ershler) graduated from the Moscow Chemical-Technological Institute (МХТИ) in 1948. From her article with N.T. Kudryavtasev on the bright Zn deposition (Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR. 1950. V. 72. P.563-564). Then she worked with Bagotsky in “Cells-Electrocarbon”/VNIIT, and completed her PhD thesis on the anodic processes on carbon in power source with chromate electrolyte. She joined Bagotsky’s team which moved from VNIIT to Frumkin Institute.

Yuryi Mironovich Vol’fkovich

Irina Evgen’evna Yablokova

Tamara Konstantinovna Zolotova, 1966 Moscow Univ graduate, first worked in the Institute of Organic Intermediates and Dyes (НИИОПиК) with I.V. Shelepin (1959 graduate of the same Dept), and studied electrochemical and photochemical behavior of dyes, mostly antraquinone derivatives, in aqueous solutions. This work was carried out in collaboration with Yu.B. Vassiliev, and resulted in 1977 PhD thesis. Later she worked in Frumkin Institute, her most known works with Yu.M. Vol’fkovich in 1990s are related to porous structure of conducting polymers.
