About

Oliver Pecher is a leading figure in the development of advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodologies for energy materials. His research centers on automating and enhancing the efficiency of NMR investigations, with a particular focus on batteries and other functional inorganic systems. Pecher’s major contribution is the invention of the external automatic tuning/matching (eATM) robot, a groundbreaking device that attaches to commercial or home-built NMR probeheads to enable fully automated tuning and matching. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (53 citations), dramatically accelerates data acquisition and improves reproducibility, making it possible to study reactive or air-sensitive materials under realistic operating conditions. By synchronizing the eATM with both Bruker and Tecmag spectrometers, Pecher has created a versatile tool that is now widely adopted in laboratories worldwide. His work has significantly advanced the in situ and operando characterization of energy storage systems, providing critical insights into ion dynamics and structural evolution. Pecher’s achievements have earned him recognition as a pioneer in automated NMR, bridging the gap between fundamental spectroscopy and applied energy research.
