(588d) Utilizing Spectroscopic Signatures in Operando NMR for Realistic Battery Applications

In this talk, I will discuss the challenges associated with using operando electrochemical nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study commercially-relevant batteries. Specifically, we characterize how practical battery materials (e.g., stainless steel, thick metal casings) impact the observed NMR signal intensities and shifts as well as NMR quantification. From these data, we optimize electrochemical NMR experiments to explore the physical processes that we can probe with this technique, such as metal electrodeposition/dissolution and electrode wetting.
