Electrodiffusion of ions in ion exchange membranes: Finite element simulations and experiments

Electrodiffusion of ions in both cation (CEM) and anion exchange membranes (AEM) has been studied with theoretical calculations and experimental studies. Calculations are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Nernst-Planck equations are solved in multi-ionic s...
