Welcome to the
Edinburgh Electrochemical Engineering Group
At the Edinburgh Electrochemical Engineering Group - e3Group, we are mainly interested in Electrochemistry with a special focus on its applied side (Applied Electrochemistry & Electrochemical Engineering). Our multidisciplinary expertise covers nearly the whole range of the field: from advanced design and modelling of electrochemical reactors and electrolysers to the development of novel coatings by electrochemical processes and their scale-up to production scale.
But we don't limit ourselves to Electrochemistry only! Sonochemistry is another area we are also interested in, as it enables us to use acoustically-generated cavitating bubbles to enhance reaction rates or change their mechanisms in chemical processes. And other area of interest for us is Materials, especially the development of functional materials and coatings for advanced mechanical applications (friction, wear, fatigue, corrosion).

What we do
Development of fuctional materials for engineering applications
Even 'simple' stack reactors may experience severe performance issues due to the flow within their compartments. We use numerical methods (CFD, FEM) to investigate ways to optimise flow distribution in electrochemical reactors and acoustic field in sonochemical reactors.
