Molecular Electron-Transfer in Systems Relevant to Geological Sciences: Transport and Electrochemical Reactions in Compartments
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
A model for liquid/liquid phase boundaries (NAPLs) based on scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) techniques and immiscible liquids was investigated. Approach curves of (ultra-) microelectrodes to coal tar of various ageing states show distinctly different behavior. Simulation of electrochemical processes was extended to equilibrium processes (infinitely fast kinetics) by application of Lagrange multiplier formulations. Objectoriented implementation of this approach within the open-source EChem++ problem solving environment allows its use with cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric conditions. Furthermore, an advantageous direct control of the current error in electrochemical finite element simulations was achieved, which guarantees the estimated error of both concentrations and the experimentally accessible quantity current to be below a given limit.
