ELC: Software and tutorial for finite-element modeling of electrochemical desalination

Abstract Many works in capacitive deionization (CDI) use finite-element (FEM) simulations to investigate process behavior. Here, we present ELC, comprehensive software that integrates these methods with COMSOL Multiphysics. It can save significant time for common research questions CDI operations and is well-suited new complex upscaled device designs. The ELC has already been used the simulation of time-varying desalination output, charge leakages, bipolar electrode devices, stacks over 100 cells. Finally, provide a video tutorial on how software. In conclusion, could be strong aiding current future electrochemical desalination.
