About This Topic
Light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale lies at the heart of many physical problems including magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy. Over the past few decades, various theoretical methods have been introduced in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and series of experiments have been realized to investigate the interaction of electromagnetic waves with various materials used in batteries and fuel cells research for the energy storage materials. The major aim of NMR investigations is to collect as much information as possible about signal shifts, line shapes, and quantitative data such as spin-lattice relaxation times, to gain insights into phase chemistry, local structure, and ion dynamics. In many cases, a high experimental resolution is crucial and solid-state NMR offers a useful platform in which to collect the information. In this special issue, we present some of the most exciting developments in the application of NMR in researching battery and fuel cell materials. For example, the application of ex and/or in-situ NMR experiments to solve problems related to electrodes, electrolytes, interfaces, and microstructure formation. This Special Issue will be a useful reference for practitioners in the solid-state NMR and lithium-ion battery communities, and at the same time will appeal to a broad audience interested in the general area of NMR, battery and fuel cell technologies.

Abstract In a lithium-ion battery, the crossing of its charging–discharging curves represents an unambiguous current capacity. The reproduction of a complete charging–discharging cycle defines the maximum possible charge for a current battery state. When obtaining of the curves experimentally, one should consider the duration of polarization or [...] |
