Electrochemistry is inherent a surface process, requiring the transport of reagents towards the electrode surface. In electrochemical reactors this typically results in mass transfer limitation problems, limiting the yield and efficiency of the reactor. While the academic community is ... Read More
At University College London, Applied Analytical Chemistry MSc course, we have used COMSOL Multiphysics as an alternative to laboratory-based student research projects. Use of computational modelling enabled students to complete their research work remotely while gaining experience in ... Read More
pH-responsive hydrogels have over the years drawn research interest in applications such as microfluidic control and separation, chemo-mechanical sensing systems and controlled drug delivery, owing to their ability to undergo significant volume changes in response to changes in pH of the ...

The all vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a promising electrochemical energy storage technology with the potential to play an important role in future power grids [1]. While the common VRFB cell design is planar, a tubular cell design might display advantages as reduced sealing ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® and the Batteries & Fuel Cells Module are used to create a pseudo 2D model of a Li-ion battery. A sensitivity analysis determines the most sensitive model parameters which are identified by microstructure analysis or optimized by nonlinear least-square regression ... Read More
Photovoltaic-powered electrolysis (PV-EC) though the most mature technology for zero-carbon integrated solar to hydrogen conversion, is still only approaching industrial and commercial relevance, and devices with light absorber area larger than 100 cm2 are quite rare [1,2]. Here, we ... Read More
The increasing demand for more efficient cooling options in the fields of fuel cell mobility and power electronics motivates for the development of novel cooling strategies with improved heat transfer. Forced convection of liquids is a common cooling method and allows high temperature ... Read More
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a technique for recording spatially resolved electrochemical signals. In a typical SECM experiment an ultramicroelectrode (UME) is immersed in an electrolyte over a sample. Additionally, an electrochemically active species called mediator is ... Read More
