The engineers looked inside the capacitor Bashny.Net

A method of magnetic resonance imaging allows scientists to look inside the capacitors during charge and discharge, to investigate the dynamics of ions. This allows you to better understand the mechanism of energy storage and to make these devices better.

A group of scientists from Cambridge, new York University and Stony Brook University have shown that this method can identify the basic ionic processes in a working capacity. In particular, the researchers showed that the technique can monitor, in real time and with high resolution, rapidly changing spatial distribution of anions and cations as they move through the pores of the electrode material through the electrolyte solution.





The group explains that in contrast to previous studies, a new method, which measures the signals of the 1H and 11B MRI, controls ion processes at each electrode simultaneously. Besides, the new method quickly captures snapshots of the system in non-equilibrium States, thus providing a view of remote processes of ion dynamics.
