Caption
NMR maps hidden electrolyte states. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe captures the liquid electrolyte inside a battery and translates molecular signals into a layered view of electrolyte behavior. The enlarged schematic highlights three connected features—microscopic structure, microscopic motion, and heterogeneity—that together define how ions, solvents, and local environments organize, renew, and coexist before interfacial chemistry begins. This NMR-based framework moves beyond simple formulation labels to better explain electrolyte performance and guide battery design.
