This focus issue of the Journal of The Electrochemical Society is devoted to the mathematical modeling of electrochemical systems across multiple scales. Future advances in electrochemical systems will be greatly influenced by the need to design and control materials and processes using advanced simulation tools. Length scales in electrochemical applications can range from electronic to atomic to molecular to nanoscale to microscale to macroscale.
This issue, as well as regular symposia on multiscale modeling for electrochemical systems at ECS meetings, was majorly inspired by the work of Professor John Newman from the University of California-Berkeley. He dedicated his career to this topic, and he trained and influenced countless researchers on this topic over the years.
The deadline for submissions is April 2, 2017. Submit today!
All papers accepted for this focus issue will be published as open access at no cost to authors; the article processing charge (APC) will be waived.
Contributions are solicited related to, for example, experimental and theoretical methods for understanding and describing behavior in electrochemical systems at the molecular, mesoscale, and macroscale levels, new engineering methods and simulation algorithms with improved computational efficiency and uncertainty quantification including stochastic event assessment, and coupling of continuum-scale events to molecular-scale processes for the design, control, and optimization of entire systems. Mathematical modeling at multiple scale can be applied to a wide range of electrochemical systems, including but not limited to:
- Systems and materials for stationary and transportation applications (e.g., photovoltaics, fuel cells, hydrogen generation, batteries, electrochemical capacitors)
- NEMS, MEMS and electronic device fabrication
- Electrochemically enabled devices, systems, and products for medical technology
- Corrosion systems
Submit your manuscripts by April 2, 2017.
