Abstract
). We found that for kinetically sluggish electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, electrodes with numerous small pores and high internal surface area provide enhanced performance, whereas for kinetically facile electrolytes with low ionic conductivity, low through-plane tortuosity and high hydraulic conductance are desired. The computational tool developed in this work can further expanded to the design of high-performance electrode materials for a broad range of operating conditions, electrolyte chemistries, reactor designs, and electrochemical technologies.
