Electrode-Electrolyte interface sim

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I am working with COMSOL 4.2. I would like to do a simulation to determine potential drop between two metal electrodes in salt electrolyte, in response to change in electrode material and electrolyte parameters. I know one module I need to use is the electrostatics module. I have done simple capacitance simulations before so I think I know how to use this module.

But, I have no idea which module I need for the electrolyte...do I use the nernst-planck equations or the battery module or something in the electrochemistry module? I am completely new to this. I have been trying to search around for a starting point but have been unable to find any good material. Could someone please guide me on what module I need to incorporate electrolyte and how to set up electrolyte physics parameters? I'm just looking for some guidance to start with.

- Thanks so much!
