Electrochemistry Material Properties

You are viewing the documentation for an older COMSOL version. The latest version is available here.

These material property groups for electrochemistry (including their associated physical properties) can be added to models from the window. These property groups are used by the Batteries & Fuel Cells Module, Corrosion Module, Electrochemistry Module, and Electrodeposition Module.
