  • Local structure of dopants in metal halide perovskites

    Dominik Kubicki – @DominikJKubicki

    Doping with metals, non-metals, and small organic molecules is essential for enhancing the optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites. Those dopants are typically present in only very small quantities, so it is challenging to study them. I will show how solid-state MAS NMR can help.

  • 2D EXSY NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of anions of an RTIL (BMIM+-TFSI-)

    Jinlei Cui – @cui_jinlei

    2D EXSY NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are applied to investigate the diffusivity of anions of an RTIL (BMIM+–TFSI–), dissolved in five different organic solvents, in the micropores of activated carbon. The comparisons of ion diffusivities between the experiments and the MD simulations suggest the need to consider also the surface functionalities of activated carbon for the simulation of ion diffusion in the micropores of activated carbon.

  • Case study of a protein-based biopolymer using solid-state NMR

    Bhargy Sharma – @BhargySharma

    In our research, we study a protein-based biopolymer – the slime from velvet worms. This slime has unique physico-chemical properties which can inspire novel recyclable sustainable materials. Combining bioinformatics and biophysical tools, we propose the mechanism of structural transitions from viscous crude slime solution to fibers with high tensile stiffness.

  • Mere Anarchy is Loosed: Structural Disorder in Cu2Zn1–xCdxSnS4

    Amit Bhattacharya – @AmitB0021

    Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is used to delve into the local structural variation in photovoltaic Cu2Zn1–xCdxSnS4 materials and their conversion to a stannite phase upon critical Cd-loading. 113Cd NMR spectroscopy reveals the coexistence of stannite and kesterite. 63Cu NMR data combined with DFT computations resolve the conundrum of Cu/Zn disorder.

  • New Methods targetting Battery Material Characterization

    Isha Yadav@IshaYadav_1809

    Battery is efficient and safer energy storage device . We will use advanced NMR instrumentation and pulse sequence (19 F – 7 Li correlation ) to study solid polymer electrolytes to establish ion conductivity – structural relationship , stability- structural relationship and through DNP we can deal with electrode-electrolyte interface.

  • NMRTools.jl: a simple, open source interface for NMR data in Julia

    Chris Waudby@chris_waudby

    Julia is a modern language optimised for scientific computation. To facilitate the use of Julia by the NMR community, here we introduce NMRTools.jl, an open source package providing an interface to import and visualise NMR data. Interested users are welcomed to contribute to the development of this ongoing project.
