Multinuclear NMR Studies of Earth and Energy Systems
EMSL Project ID
60601
Abstract
A team of researchers at PNNL carries out a number of studies that utilize high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in areas of national need for Basic Energy Sciences (BES). The research projects include scientific explorations in energy, materials, synthesis, and geochemical sciences. The proposed research on a number of NMR instruments will advance and accelerate the research goals of multiple BES projects at PNNL and leverages advances already made by members of the team in the development and use of unique NMR probes and experiments at EMSL. A number of investigations with this instrument will be in situ studies that are at the forefront of research efforts probing atomic and molecular structure and dynamics under conditions relevant to real-world applications in areas important to DOE BES and the nation.The BES programs that will be primary users of this spectrometer are the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR; Karl Mueller, PNNL Lead PI), an Energy Innovation Hub supported by BES/MSE and led by Argonne National Laboratory (George Crabtree, PI) Multifunctional Catalysis to Synthesize and Utilize Energy Carriers (Johannes Lercher, PI) supported by the BES/CSGB Catalysis Science Program, and Nucleationand Self-assembly of Hierarchical Materials (Jim De Yoreo, PI) supported by BES/MSE Synthesis and Processing Science Program.. Research supported by this advanced instrumentation will support studies of battery materials (including electrodes and electrolytes), self-assembled and molecular materials, zeolites and other oxide catalysts, and geochemically-relevant solids (e.g., minerals) in contact with water, supercritical CO2, and other substances.
