Abstract
In this work, a multi-scale model of an electrochemically promoted catalytic system is formulated. The model accounts for the controlled migration of backspillover species [O δ- - δ+] from the support to the catalytic surface, when potential is applied between the catalyst and a counter electrode in a solid electrolyte cell. This metal-support interaction leads to a significant alteration of the catalytic activity. To the best of our knowledge, a systematic multi-scale model, which simulates the chemical and electrochemical processes taking place in electrochemically promoted catalytic systems, has not been developed yet. The proposed multi-scale model couples a macroscopic model based on commercial CFD software and an in-house developed efficient implementation of the kinetic Monte Carlo method (kMC) for the simulation of CO oxidation over a deposited on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Pt electrode. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
