Contrasting Views of the Electric Double Layer in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction: Continuum Models vs Molecular Dynamics

Sophia Haussener, Evan Fair Johnson

In the field of electrochemical CO2 reduction, both continuum models and molecular dynamics (MD) models have been used to understand the electric double layer (EDL). MD often focuses on the region within a few nm of the electrode, while continuum models ca ...

How to polarise an interface with ions: the discrete Helmholtz model

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

The distribution of electrolytes in an electric field usually relies on theories based on the Poisson-Boltzmann formalism. These models predict that, in the case of a metallic electrode, ionic charges screen the electrode potential, leading to concentratio ...

Vanadium‐manganese redox flow battery: Study of Mn(III) disproportionation in the presence of other metallic ions

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Danick Reynard, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Solène Cindy Gentil

The Mn(III)/Mn(II) redox couple with a standard potential of +1.51 V vs . SHE has drawn interest for the design of V/Mn redox flow battery (RFB). However, Mn(III) disproportionation leads to a loss of capacity, an increase of pressure drop and electrode pa ...

Standard ion transfer potential at the water|butyronitrile interface

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Victor Costa Bassetto, Julieta Soledad Riva

Butyronitrile is an organic solvent stable enough to be used in photochemical reactions at liquid/liquid interfaces. However, it provides a rather short polarisation window making the analysis of ion transfer across the water|butyronitrile interface challe ...
