Title: In situ Stripline Electrochemical NMR for Batteries

Abstract

Here, there exist some long outstanding technical challenges that continue to be of hindrance to fully harnessing the unique investigative advantages of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in the in situ investigation of rechargeable battery chemistry. For instance, the conducting materials and circuitry necessary for an operational battery always deteriorate the coil–based NMR sensitivity when placed inside the coil, and the shape mismatch between them leads to low sample filling factors and even higher detection limits. We report herein a novel and successful adaptation of stripline NMR detection that integrates seamlessly the NMR detection with construction of an electro–chemical device in general (or a battery in particular) which leads to a technique with much higher detection sensitivity, higher sample filling factors, and which is particularly suitable for mass–limited samples.

Figure 1 Figure 1: (a) Side view of the stripline detector showing the dimension d, the distance between the ground plates. (b) Front view of the central stripline with dimesons l and w indicated. The stripline detector is cut from a 35 μm thick copper sheet and can be made in anymore » physical dimensions appropriate for the battery under investigation. For optimum performance, l/w should be approximately 5, while w/d should be approximately 1. The sensitive region is above and below the narrow neck (w) of the stripline. (c) Li-ion pouch cell schematic. The stripline detector (A) is covered in Kapton to isolate it electrically from the electrolyte and further isolated from the anode (D) and cathode (E) by a Celguard separator (C). The components are enclosed in a laminated Al pouch cell material (B). (d) A pouch cell battery mounted on the homebuilt EC-NMR probe. (e) Circuit diagram of the stripline EC-NMR probe. Several frequency-selective filtering stages are shown to isolate the DC potentiostat current from the RF NMR circuitry. The inset in (e) shows the 7Li NMR signal-to-noise sensitivity (S/N) of the stripline detector to varying concentration (C) of LiCI dissolved in water obtained in a 9.39 T magnet (155.5 MHz) using a home-made stripline detector. The dotted red line is linear guide to the eye.« less
