Self-diffusion of carbon dioxide in samaria/alumina aerogel catalyst using high field NMR diffusometry

High-resolution slice selection NMR for the measurement of CO2 diffusion under non-equilibrium conditions

We present a simple and an efficient approach using spatially selective NMR to investigate solvation and diffusion of CO2 in ionic liquids. The techniques demonstrated here are shown as novel and effective means of studying solvated gas dynamics under non-equilibrium conditions without the need for conventional high power gradients.

The origin of a large apparent tortuosity factor for the Knudsen diffusion inside monoliths of a samaria–alumina aerogel catalyst: a diffusion NMR study

The contribution from surface diffusion into the apparent tortuosity factor can be separated for light gases in a porous catalyst.
