Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is uniquely suited for non-invasive characterization of both crystalline and amorphous materials, offering detailed insights into their molecular structure and dynamics. However, the technique’s low sensitivity remains a significant hurdle. To address this, our group adopts an integrated approach, combining advanced hyperpolarization strategies, innovative hardware designs, optimized sample preparation techniques, and sophisticated radiofrequency (RF) pulse sequences. By synergizing these methodologies, we enhance the sensitivity and resolution of solid-state NMR, enabling more precise characterization of complex materials.

 

Our group operates at the intersection of experimental and theoretical research, fostering an interdisciplinary environment where novel techniques are developed and applied. This holistic approach not only overcomes the limitations of solid-state NMR but also drives innovation in understanding the structure-function relationships of materials critical for sustainable energy and environmental applications.
