NIMPHEA – D4.4 Simulation of the electrochemical interface

NIMPHEA

In January 2025, the NIMPHEA consortium released its deliverable D4.4: “Simulation of the Electrochemical Interface” led by CEA.

This new deliverable presents advanced computer models that simulate how the MEA works under real operating conditions. By reproducing what happens inside the cell, the models help scientists: explore how materials behave at high temperatures; study how water, gases, and electricity interact inside the cell; identify where performance losses occur and how to reduce them.

Simulations like these are powerful tools: they save time and resources, guide experiments, and help design better-performing cells. With these models, the NIMPHEA team is one step closer to creating lighter, more efficient fuel cells tailored for aviation needs.

The insights from this work will support the project’s next phases, where the models will be used to refine MEA designs and move toward practical demonstrations.
