EPR Application Cases
Free radicals are atoms or groups with unpaired electrons that are formed when a compound molecule is subjected to external conditions such as light or heat and the covalent bonds are split. For more stable free radicals, EPR can detect them directly and quickly. For short-lived free radicals, they can be detected by spin trapping. For example, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, single-linear oxygen light radicals, and other radicals produced by photocatalytic processes.
For transition metal ions (including iron, palladium, and platinum group ions with unfilled 3d, 4d, and 5d shell respectively) and rare earth metal ions (with unfilled 4f shell), these paramagnetic metal ions can be detected by EPR spectrometer due to the presence of the single electrons in their atomic orbitals, thus obtaining the valence and structure information. In the case of transition metal ions, there are usually multiple valence states and spin states with high and low spins. Parallel modes in a two-mode cavity allow detection of the integer spin regime.
The EPR line shape that conducts electrons is related to the size of the conductor, which is of great significance in the field of lithium-ion batteries. EPR can non-invasively probe the interior of the battery to study the deposition process of lithium in a close-to-real situation, from which the microscopic size of metallic lithium deposits can be inferred.
Vacancy is a concept in solid structural chemistry or materials science, which refers to a structure in which there are no atoms in a lattice position. Common vacancies include oxygen vacancies, carbon vacancies, nitrogen vacancies, and sulfur vacancies
For very short-lived species such as triplet states, transient EPR can be used to test.
