Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Lithium-Ion Batteries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Nanoscale Technology for Advanced Lithium Batteries

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

In this chapter, the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to lithium-ion batteries is discussed. It is shown that observation of lithium in anode carbon materials is straightforward and in situ NMR during charge/discharge has been realized. Examination of solid-state NMR of various nuclear spins in electrode materials using a technique called magic-angle spinning (MAS) is introduced. Further, measurement of the diffusion coefficient and observation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lithium-ion batteries using the pulsed-field-gradient technique are discussed.
