The electrochemical interface region at an electrode-electrolyte is of great importance for surface processes, such as heterogeneous electrochemical reactions or sorption processes at the electrode surface. The model is based on a thermodynamic continuum-based metal-electrolyte interface theory developed in a series of papers [1,2]. This package allows for the determination of impedance and surface species coverage.
Model inputs:
- Bulk electrolyte composition
- Bulk electrolyte pressure
- Potential drop across the double layer
Model outputs:
- Double layer capacitance
- Surface fractions of adsorpted species
Note: This package is currently under development, so that the user interface is subject to change.
