The team Electrochemical Cells and Microstructures at the Institute of Computational Physics is involved in the modelling and simulation of electrochemical flow cells on three length scales, that is, we develop models for the electrochemical double layer, pore-scale electrode structures, and cell-scale processes.
The main goal of ZHAW is to develop scale-specific models for the computational high-throughput pipeline. These include a model of the electrochemical interface, a pore network model for porous electrodes, a membrane model, and flow cell models for the evaluation of key performance metrics.
“The PREDICTOR project provides us the opportunity to further develop and improve physics-based models for the coupled physical and chemical processes in flow cells at different length scales with the aim to predict and optimize performance metrics. The developed models will be published in part as open-source software to foster the uptake of the models by the research community. Furthermore, we plan to offer commercialized models and services to the industry through a spin-off company.”
