Electrochemical & NMR Labs
The electrochemical and NMR labs are at the core of our research. A complete list of facilities and equipment, including key instrumentation from shared scientific facilities, can be found HERE.
Electrochemical Lab
Prof. Messinger directs the Electrochemical Materials & Devices Laboratory, devoted to the synthesis, fabrication, and testing of electrochemical materials and devices. The lab occupies 790 square-feet and is equipped to support the syntheses and handling of air-sensitive electrochemical materials, the processing of composite electrodes, the fabrication of batteries with different cell designs, and the electrochemical characterization of materials and devices. The lab is located within CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Labs
Prof. Messinger oversees all solid-state NMR instrumentation and measurements at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, located on CCNY campus. The ASRC NMR lab includes 600, 700, and 800 MHz spectrometers with Bruker AVANCE III HD consoles. The team often uses the 600 MHz spectrometer, which can be operated in solid-state or liquid-state mode. The group has solid-state 1.2-mm and 1.6-mm magic-angle-spinning (MAS) probeheads from PhoenixNMR, with triple-resonance HFXY and low-gamma tuning capabilities. In CCNY’s Core Scientific Facilities, which also has a 600 MHz spectrometer with a Bruker AVANCE NEO console, the team has a broadband 5-mm solution-state diffusion probe from Bruker. The team often uses NMR spectroscopy to probe the molecular-level environments, compositions, structures, and dynamics of materials.
