Los estudios magnéticos ex situ pueden proporcionar directamente información masiva y local en un electrodo magnético para revelar su mecanismo de almacenamiento de carga paso a paso. En esta invención, se demuestra que la resonancia de espín electrónico (ESR) y la susceptibilidad magnética monitorean la evaluación de especies paramagnéticas y su concentración en un marco metal-orgánico (MOF) redox-activo.

Nuestro interés de investigación radica en comprender los estados electrónicos y de espín de los marcos orgánicos metálicos conjugados pi-d 2D y su correlación con su comportamiento electroquímico de estos MOF en dispositivos de almacenamiento de energía de estado sólido. En los últimos cinco años, muchos nuevos materiales MOF conjugadores 2D han sido reportados y estudiados para su uso como materiales activos en celdas electroquímicas. Sin embargo, el mecanismo de sus procesos de almacenamiento de carga aún no está claro.

Los métodos espectroscópicos, incluida la difracción de rayos X, la espectroscopia de fotoelectrones de rayos X y la estructura fina de absorción de rayos X son las técnicas más utilizadas en este campo. Esas técnicas son cruciales para categorizar la estructura cristalina y los estados de oxígeno del elemento específico. No es posible separar un MOF 2D del dispositivo mientras se analiza su estado intermedio electroquímico.
