description Three-component systems of diffusion–reaction equations play a central role in the modelling and simulation of chemical processes in engineering, electro-chemistry, physical chemistry, biology, population dynamics, etc. A major question in the simulation of three-component systems is how to guarantee non-negative species distributions in the model and how to calculate them effectively. Current numerical methods to enforce non-negative species distributions tend to be cost-intensive in terms of computation time and they are not robust for big rate constants of the considered reaction. In this article, a method, as a combination of homotopy methods, modern augmented Lagrangian methods, and adaptive FEMs is outlined to obtain a robust and efficient method to simulate diffusion–reaction models with non-negative concentrations. Although in this paper the convergence analysis is not described rigorously, multiple numerical examples as well as an application to elctro-deposition from an aqueous <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>Cu</mi><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>+</mo></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>-(<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-alanine) electrolyte are presented.
