Short summary
We developed a workflow using finite element methods to optimise electrochemical cell designs for in operando nuclear magnetic resonance by accurately matching magnetic field and radio frequency field simulations with experimental data. Guidelines for enhanced sensitivity and field homogeneity are given. A radio frequency amplification effect in coin cells is described by empirical formulae, which have the potential to improve spatial selectivity in future in operando applications.
