Fast screening of solid electrolytes: a high throughput solid state NMR probe.

In this article we describe the construction of a high throughput solid state NMR probe for a fast and reliable determination of the NMR line width of a given nuclear species within a solid material. Since the NMR line width scales with the inverse of the mobility of the studied species and hence its ionic conductivity, this approach allows a fast screening of the material's promise as a solid electrolyte. The functionality of the approach is exemplified by the determination of the (7)Li-NMR line width of a set of 30 different liquid and solid Li-containing samples.
