Phys.org  May 25, 2024 The current understanding of electric double layer (EDL) charging is limited to simple geometries. An international team of researchers (USA – University of Colorado, Poland) introduced a model to predict electrolyte transport in complex networks of slender pores. Their methodology accurately captures the spatial and temporal dependencies of charge density and electric potential, matching results obtained from computationally intensive direct numerical simulations. Their network model provided results up to six orders of magnitude faster. They used the framework to study the impact of pore connectivity and polydispersity on electrode charging dynamics for pore networks and discussed […]
