Explore electrochemical system modeling through the lens of continuum non-equilibrium thermodynamics in this 56-minute conference talk. Learn how to model electrolytes, electrodes, and their interfaces using thermodynamic principles by examining the continuum version of the second law of thermodynamics for both volumes and surfaces. Discover how general balance equations for charged mixtures can be closed through thermodynamic frameworks, and investigate the modeling procedures for various physico-chemical aspects including compressibility and incompressibility in electrolytes, solvation effects, adsorption, and surface reactions. Gain insights into validation strategies with experimental data and observe numerical simulations that provide detailed model interpretations of experimental results. The presentation covers fundamental concepts in electrochemical modeling while demonstrating practical applications through computational examples, making complex thermodynamic principles accessible for understanding real-world electrochemical phenomena.
