Membrane Electrode Assembly Simulation of Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyser new

S. N. Sampathkumar1, K. Lawand1, J. Van Herle1
1Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Group of Energy Materials) (In-stitute of Mechanical Engineering), 1951-Sion, Switzerland

Anion exchange membrane water Electrolysers (AEMWE) have gained prominence recently with their ability to replace platinum group materials (PGM) with non-PGM catalysts, which are Ni, Fe, and Mo based. However, more mathematical models must be explored involving membrane electrode assem ... Read More

Transport-Mechanical Model for Deformation and Stress Calculation in Phase-Change Active Materials for Electrodes of Lithium-Ion Batteries new


Stress and consequent crack propagation are one of the main causes of damage in the electrodes’ microstructure of lithium-ion batteries. In this kind of problems, two physical fields are involved: The concentration of lithium ions, which are driven by diffusion, and the mechanical field, ... Read More
