In a nutshell: OUTREACH
The application of magnetic resonance experiments on functioning batteries is an outstanding approach to research new energy storage materials and optimise existing technologies. The experiments, however, do come with challenges that one can tackle with ePROBE hardware and consultancy. Here, we share some insights to the field.
How NMR Spectroscopy Enhances Lithium-Ion Battery Innovation
Battery Technology Article, January 2025
by Jörg Köhler (Bruker) and Sarah Mailhiot (Bruker)
As electric mobility pushes rapidly toward a zero-emission future, the pressure to develop lithium-ion batteries that are reliable, powerful, and environmentally responsible is stronger than ever. NMR spectroscopy is emerging as a key technology of battery research and production, offering a clearer understanding of material behavior, boosting performance capabilities, and helping manufacturers meet evolving international standards.
Operando NMR studies for Na-ion batteries
Current research efforts in the field of energy storage are focused on finding alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among these are sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to the high availability of sodium, its low cost, and suitable redox potential. Hard carbons, which are suitable for anodes in SIBs, exhibits good electrochemical performance and cyclic stability. However, the exact mechanism of their operation remains unknown. In this study, the physical and electrochemical properties of corncob derived hard carbon prepared at 1400 °C were established via solid-state ex-situ and operando NMR spectroscopy.
Webinar: Advancements in Operando NMR Analysis of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Webinar: Advancements in Operando NMR Analysis of Lithium-Ion Batteries on Wednesday, 21 February 2024, 5 PM CET. Electrochemical processes in a Li|LiPF6|LFP cell have been explored applying novel solid-state NMR technologies. Industry, Academia, and Technology partners are joining efforts to demonstrate the high potential of this approach for use in the energy storage industry. Join Dragonfly Energy, Darmstadt Technical University, ePROBE and BRUKER BioSpin as they discuss about an experimental procedure for routine application of in-situ Solid-State NMR for battery research.
