Prof. Sergey V. Korenev is a Professor and Doctor of Chemical Sciences at the Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, SB RAS and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Structural Chemistry. His research centers on coordination chemistry, with emphasis on the synthesis, crystal-structure determination and thermal decomposition of double complex salts. These compounds serve as single-source precursors for bimetallic nanoalloys and metal-oxide catalysts applied in CO oxidation and hydrogen production. He employs TGA, XRD and electron microscopy for material characterization. He has co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed papers and collaborates extensively with Novosibirsk State University.
