Scientific Abstract
Scientific Abstract
Project M04 will address mesoscale phenomena relevant to all experimental areas by means of lattice-Boltzmann simulations. The dynamics of wetting and dewetting of substrates by IL films and metal droplets will be elucidated driven by heat formation and mass transport during catalyst operation. M04 will assess contact angles and their variation depending on the geometry of porous supports, the dynamics of spreading and imbibition of ILs and liquid metals in such supports, the accessibility of surface sites, the heat flux, and the resulting turnover rates. Understanding the combination of these effects, we will rationalise experimental findings and propose strategies for the improvement of materials and processes.
