[Feature Request]: Temperature effects in Pourbaix analysis? about pymatgen HOT 2 OPEN

from pymatgen.

This is a great idea that I'd love to see implemented.

As a result, we assume all free energies will have a prefactor of 0.0591 for the pH variable i.e. pH * k_B * T * ln(10) (in eV) where T= 298K (RT) and k_B * T * ln(10) = 0.0591. Is there a (chemical or implementation) reason why we do not make this more generalized by adding a temperature variable in the Pourbaix diagrams? Maybe we can set it to a default of T = 298K so the behavior doesn't change, but still allow users to modify if they want to analyze aqueous electrochemical systems under different temperature conditions? If this is reasonable, I can submit a small pull request later to implement Proposed Solution Add a temperature variable that changes the pH prefactor to any method or function that uses "PREFAC". Default all temperature variables to 298K so that the PREFAC value stays at 0.0591 unless the user manually changes temperature.

Sounds good, I was curious what your thoughts on this was going to be. I'll try to make some time this week to push it through. It shouldn't be too much trouble I think
