  In situ NMR and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance techniques reveal the structure of the electrical double layer in supercapacitors

  Observing ionic species at the electrode/electrolyte interface in supercapacitor devices is difficult. In situ NMR is now used to directly quantify anionic and cationic species within a working microporous carbon supercapacitor electrode.

  Exploring electrolyte organization in supercapacitor electrodes with solid-state NMR

  Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy-storage devices that take advantage of electrostatic interactions between high-surface-area nanoporous electrodes and electrolyte ions. Molecular mechanisms at work inside supercapacitor carbon electrodes are now clarified with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
