Our research group has a broad portfolio of activities within equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We combine experiments, theory and molecular simulations to address a variety of scientific and industrially relevant challenges, where sustainability and development of fundamental knowledge is important. Our lines of research are:

New article on transport numbers in RED

Our new paper entitled Analytical treatment of ion-exchange permselectivity and transport number measurements for high accuracy has been published in the Journal of Membrane Science. In the article, we analyse electromotive force measurements of concentration cells using non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and determine the transference ...
