Thiessen AN, Verbeek W, Gritter K, Ooms KJ. Assessment of the sensitivity of DQF/ZQF 2H NMR of D 2O for studying modified nafion membranes at 20 °C and 80 °C. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2018; 93:1-6. [PMID: 29758460 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2018.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2017] [Revised: 03/28/2018] [Accepted: 03/29/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Double and zero quantum filtered (ZQF/DQF) 2H NMR spectroscopy was used to study D2O in five different Nafion membranes, N117, N115, NR212, XL, and HP, in order to assess the effectiveness of the technique for monitoring differences in thickness, membrane reinforcement, and the addition of chemical stabilizers. Experiments were also carried out at 20 and 80 °C to understand if the ZQF/DQF technique could detect changes in the water environments and exchange dynamics as a function of temperature. For two of the membranes, significant decreases in the 1/T2 relaxation rates were observed at 80 °C. The two modified membranes showed changes in the quadrupolar couplings when heated, with the XL membranes showing a drop in the coupling and the HP membranes showing an increase in the coupling. No consistent variations could be associated with thickness, reinforcement or the addition of stabilizers. Overall the technique was able to detect some differences between the membranes but was limited by the variability in the observed NMR data.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2017; 29:1605895.

Abstract
Surface and interfacial chemistry is of fundamental importance in functional nanomaterials applied in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, medicine, and other nanotechnologies. It has been a perpetual challenge for the scientific community to get an accurate and comprehensive picture of the structures, dynamics, and interactions at interfaces. Here, some recent examples in the major disciplines of nanomaterials are selected (e.g., nanoporous materials, battery materials, nanocrystals and quantum dots, supramolecular assemblies, drug-delivery systems, ionomers, and graphite oxides) and it is shown how interfacial chemistry can be addressed through the perspective of solid-state NMR characterization techniques.
