[institut] Center for solid state physics and new materials seminar: Anton Gradišek, Thursday, December 15th 2022, 13:00

[Bojana Višić]

Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the "Center for solid state physics and new 
materials" seminar, which will be held on Thursday, December 15th 2022 
at 13:00 in the library reading room “Dr Dragan Popović" of the 
Institute of Physics Belgrade.

The talk entitled: "Studies of molecular dynamics in hydrogen storage 
materials and solid-state electrolytes by nuclear magnetic resonance"

will be given by Dr Anton Gradišek, Assistant Professor, Solid State 
Physics Department, Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Abstract:

In view of global energy supply crisis and climate emergency, hydrogen 
is yet again becoming an attractive energy carrier. It can be produced 
using renewables and leaves only water when using it in a fuel cell. 
However, before a wider adoption of hydrogen technologies, there are 
still several technical challenges that need to be addressed. In the 
first part of the seminar, I will present an overview of some topics 
related to hydrogen economy. In the second part, I will focus on some of 
our studies of molecular dynamics by means of nuclear magnetic resonance 
(NMR). Initially, we started investigating metal hydrides as possible 
hydrogen storage materials. Our research then shifted to solid-state 
electrolytes that could be used in fuel cells. I will demonstrate how 
NMR can be used to study dynamic processes either on a long or on a 
short scale.


Best regards,

Bojana Višić
