Design and Construction of an Electrophoretic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Probe

The Electrophoretic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (eNMR) concept, in which a driving electric field is present during a "standard" NMR pulsed magnetic field gradient diffusion measurement, is not new, however the technique has undergone a rapid development in recent years.  The non-existence of an eNMR probe at a commercial level makes the design and fabrication of such a probe a fundamental aspect of our research. This poster described the principles of the eNMR technique and presents an example of a probe design and possible applications to battery and fuel cell electrolytes currently under investigation in our laboratory.
