The Electrochemical Flow Systems lab of David Vermaas is focusing on engineering and studying electrochemical flow cells, such as water electrolyzers, CO2 conversion, CO2 capture and flow batteries. The EFS lab is embedded in the Transport Phenomena group and part of the e-refinery institute, and the work of David’s lab revolves about multiphase or multi-ionic mass transport – around gas bubbles, in diffusion boundary layers, in ion exchange membranes, etc. – in electrochemical systems and the separations of their products. The goal is to enhance the mass transport and to prepare new electrochemical technologies for upscaling and practical application.
