New advances in porous materials characterisation using low-field NMR
Porous materials are employed across chemical, energy and environmental applications as diverse as catalysis, separations, hydrogen storage and battery development; however, understanding – and hence optimising – the behaviour of fluids within these structures remains highly challenging due to their optically opaque nature, and through the dominance of buried solid-fluid interfaces.
