Advancing Battery Research with Benchtop NMR and EPR

Batteries are central to the transition toward sustainable energy, but improving their performance, safety, and longevity demands a deep understanding of their chemical and physical processes. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are two complementary techniques that provide unmatched insights into the behavior of both electrodes and electrolytes at the molecular and atomic levels.

This webinar will showcase how modern benchtop NMR and EPR instruments make these powerful techniques more accessible to researchers, enabling in-depth characterization directly in the laboratory. The session is structured around three presentations:

• Benchtop NMR for electrolytes: an exploration of how NMR can be applied to study the composition, degradation, and dynamics of battery electrolytes.
• Benchtop EPR for electrodes and electrolytes: an introduction to the unique information EPR reveals about paramagnetic species in battery components
• Operando NMR and EPR for electrochemistry: an overview of the collaborative research with Radboud University demonstrating how combining these techniques together shed light on electrochemical processes, with a focus on redox flow batteries.

Through these presentations, you will learn how benchtop spectroscopy can help identify degradation pathways, monitor ion mobility, characterize electrode materials, and understand redox mechanisms in energy storage systems.

Whether you are investigating fundamental battery chemistry or optimizing materials for practical applications, this webinar will show you how benchtop NMR and EPR can be seamlessly integrated into your research. The speakers will share recent case studies, collaborative results, and practical considerations for applying these techniques effectively.

Join us to discover how accessible, high-quality spectroscopy at the benchtop can advance your battery research and contribute to the development of next-generation energy storage technologies.
