The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), a key partner in the NICKEFFECT project, represented the consortium at the 76th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE). Held in Mainz, Germany, from September 7 to 12, 2025, the meeting brought together leading experts to discuss the latest advancements in electrochemical science and technology.   Members of VUB’s Sustainable Materials Engineering (SUME) group contributed to the meeting with inspiring talks and posters, showcasing their diverse and crucial expertise in electrochemistry and sustainable materials. A highlight of VUB's presence was the presentation of NICKEFFECT-related research. Parisa Molaei presented a dedicated NICKEFFECT poster detailing "3D current density distribution simulations and experimental studies of electro-deposited porous Ni-W on fiber cloth substrates".   This work is vital for the NICKEFFECT project, as it effectively bridges advanced computational modelling with practical experimental results. Understanding the distribution of current density is crucial for optimizing the electro-deposition process, which in turn enhances...
