Abstract
In order to better understand the role of microstructure in mediating these rates, our group has been developing detailed microkinetic models (based on finite-element analysis), which employ various 3D representations of the electrode microstructure. These models have been used to explore where and under what circumstances the fine details of the microstructure matter to performance, and where macrohomogeneous approximations can be made without loss of accuracy.
