Parasitic Reactions in an Electrochemical Capacitor
Application ID: 96921
This model illustrates the effect of oxygen and hydrogen formation and recombination on the performance and self-discharge of an electrochemical capacitor with a water-based electrolyte.
A load cycle consisting of mixed constant current pulses and rest periods at an open circuit is studied.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- soit le Module Battery Design, Module Corrosion, Module Electrochemistry, Module Electrodeposition, ou Module Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
