Classical Models of the Interface Between an Electrode and an Electrolyte
The Electrical Double Layer (EDL) plays a major role in understanding the interface between a charged surface (e.g. an implant) and ionic liquids (e.g. body fluids). The three classical models of the EDL (Helmholtz, Gouy, and Chapman-Stern) are numerically solved for a flat surface ... En savoir plus
COMSOL Multiphysics® as a General Platform for the Simulation of Complex Electrochemical Systems
Microelectrodes demonstrate that modeling is crucial for understanding the behavior of complex electrochemical systems. The use of the finite element methods in electrochemistry may be of much more general interest for its ability to handle complex geometries. In this context a ... En savoir plus
Current Density Simulations in the Electrodeposition from Ionic Liquids: Effects of the Conductivity
The overall goal of this work is the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® in the modeling of the current density distributions for the electrodeposition of aluminum coatings from ionic liquids. The local current distribution is strongly dependant on the conductivity and on the geometry of the ... En savoir plus
