This capability includes multiple experts alongside a suite of characterization and coating techniques for systematically assessing the chemical, electrochemical and photochemical stabilities of PEC, LTE and SOEC components and assemblies.
Systems can be broadly adapted and suitability must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Sample sizes up to 1cm can be accommodated in the first, and thin films of metals and oxides in the second.
Capability permits going from water splitting device concept to demonstration in house.
Peridigm is an open-source computational mechanics code based on peridynamics, a nonlocal extension of classical continuum mechanics that provides a consistent mathematical framework for modeling evolving discontinuities.
Vehicle-Mobility Systems Analysis Technical Team Roadmap
Ambient pressure Electrochemical XPS (E-XPS) is used to study surface/gas reactions in electrolyzer materials and electro-catalysts for water splitting and other oxygen reduction reactions, close to operating conditions of temperature and pressure).
Key competencies include engineering systems design and analysis, system testing and evaluation, and optical and thermal materials research and development.
Continuum scale including mesoscale simulations; for cell design optimization.
A comprehensive multiscale modeling framework for simulating solid-state interfaces and their impacts on mass transport and phase microstructure evolution kinetics.
