Soft Potato

Open source electrochemistry simulator, now with a graphical interface!

It simulates cyclic voltammograms for planar diffusion. Assumes R - e -> O and Butler-Volmer kinetics as well as nerstian response. For more information visit https://oliverrdz.xyz.

Usage

Download the repository. From a terminal and within the Soft Potato directory, run:

python3 SP.py 

Requirements

It requires:

• Python 3+
• PyQt5
• Numpy
• Matplotlib
• celluloid

pip3 install numpy
pip3 install matplotlib
pip3 install pyqt5
pip3 install celluloid

Tested with:

• OS: PopOs

Pending:

• Build executable for Linux/Mac/Windows
• Change to an implicit algorithm to improve stability
• Activate non-faradaic response
