9413490马兹克该合同为购买300兆赫兹核磁共振(核磁共振)光谱仪提供支持，该光谱仪配备了大口径超导磁体，并配置用于固体和液体的核磁弛豫和光谱研究。该仪器的主要任务是将强大的现代核磁共振技术应用于联合首席研究员最近推出并获得专利的一种新型电解质的研究，这种电解质由锂离子导电盐和聚合物的混合物组成。这些材料已经显示出在电池应用中的真正前景，但它们的许多性质仍然不清楚，而核磁共振提供了从微观角度研究它们宏观行为的最佳手段。这一仪器将极大地增强该小组确定这类新电解质的结构和相对离子迁移率的能力。***

9413490 Marzke This award provides support to purchase a 300 MHZ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer, equippped with a wide- bore superconducting magnet and configured for nuclear magnetic relaxation and spectroscopic studies in solids and liquids. The principal mission of the instrument is to allow powerful, modern NMR techniques to be applied to the investigation of a new class of electrolytes recently introduced and patented by the co-principal investigator, comprised of mixtures of lithium ion conducting salts and polymers. These materials have shown genuine promise for use in battery applications, but many of their properties are still not understood, and NMR offers the best means of studying their macroscopic behavior from a microscopic point of view. This instrument will greatly enhance this group's ability to define the structures of, and the relative ion mobilities in, this new class of electrolytes. ***
