Separating the MOF from the device during analysis poses significant challenges in understanding charge storage processes.

Levantamentos magnéticos ex situ podem fornecer diretamente informações locais e em massa em um eletrodo magnético para revelar seu mecanismo de armazenamento de carga passo a passo. Neste trabalho, a ressonância magnética eletrônica (VHS) e a suscetibilidade magnética são demonstradas para monitorar a avaliação de espécies paramagnéticas e sua concentração em uma estrutura metal-orgânica redox-ativa (MOF).

Nosso interesse de pesquisa está na compreensão dos estados eletrônicos e de spin de estruturas orgânicas metálicas conjugadas 2D pi-d e sua correlação com o comportamento eletroquímico destes MOFs em dispositivos de armazenamento de energia no estado sólido. Nos últimos cinco anos, muitos novos materiais MOF conjugados 2D têm sido relatados e estudados para seu uso como materiais ativos em células eletroquímicas. No entanto, o mecanismo de seus processos de armazenamento de carga ainda não está claro.

Métodos espectroscópicos, incluindo difração de raios X, espectroscopia fotoeletrônica de raios X e estrutura fina de absorção de raios X são as técnicas mais comumente usadas neste campo. Essas técnicas são cruciais para categorizar a estrutura cristalina e os estados de oxigênio do elemento específico. Não é possível separar um MOF 2D do dispositivo ao analisar seu estado intermediário eletroquímico.
