Nonclassical growth pathways are generally confined to analysis via microscopy and X-Ray techniques due to prenucleation cluster size and stability constraints. Herein, we describe a novel technique for analyzing prenucleation cluster formation via 31P NMR spin counting of vitrified samples, which allows for atomic systems to be analyzed at varying time points.

Rechargeable aluminum-organic batteries consist of Earth-abundant materials with tunable properties. However, due to the complexity of these systems there is no complete, experimentally validated mechanism in the literature. We employ solid-state NMR methodologies to investigate the electrochemical enolization mechanism of quinones, while also elucidating the nature of their electroactive ions.

Doping with metals, non-metals, and small organic molecules is essential for enhancing the optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites. Those dopants are typically present in only very small quantities, so it is challenging to study them. I will show how solid-state MAS NMR can help.

2D EXSY NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are applied to investigate the diffusivity of anions of an RTIL (BMIM+–TFSI–), dissolved in five different organic solvents, in the micropores of activated carbon. The comparisons of ion diffusivities between the experiments and the MD simulations suggest the need to consider also the surface functionalities of activated carbon for the simulation of ion diffusion in the micropores of activated carbon.

In our research, we study a protein-based biopolymer – the slime from velvet worms. This slime has unique physico-chemical properties which can inspire novel recyclable sustainable materials. Combining bioinformatics and biophysical tools, we propose the mechanism of structural transitions from viscous crude slime solution to fibers with high tensile stiffness.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is used to delve into the local structural variation in photovoltaic Cu2Zn1–xCdxSnS4 materials and their conversion to a stannite phase upon critical Cd-loading. 113Cd NMR spectroscopy reveals the coexistence of stannite and kesterite. 63Cu NMR data combined with DFT computations resolve the conundrum of Cu/Zn disorder.

Battery is efficient and safer energy storage device . We will use advanced NMR instrumentation and pulse sequence (19 F – 7 Li correlation ) to study solid polymer electrolytes to establish ion conductivity – structural relationship , stability- structural relationship and through DNP we can deal with electrode-electrolyte interface.

Julia is a modern language optimised for scientific computation. To facilitate the use of Julia by the NMR community, here we introduce NMRTools.jl, an open source package providing an interface to import and visualise NMR data. Interested users are welcomed to contribute to the development of this ongoing project.
