Description
Electrochemists who design catalysts face a maze of settings, flow, concentration, and voltage, where the system flips between good and bad operating regimes. Zone diagrams map those regimes, but drawing them has been limited to toy systems. Plumeré and Johnson recast the map in geometric terms.
Their method computes the current output across a grid of parameters and reads the result as a landscape. In this picture the geometry carries the whole diagram: curved regions of the surface mark the boundaries between kinetic zones, and flat regions mark the limiting zones themselves. Software can then chart the full parameter space of a complex system automatically, something neither hand analysis nor brute simulation manages well. The authors aim the tool at rational design of energy conversion devices.
