Abstract
A study is made of the adsorption of one kind of monovalent positive ion at a long chain of alternating monovalent negative fixed charged (“lattice”) and uncharged (“interstitial”) sites both of one type in an electric field. Considering only nearest neighbor interactions an expression is obtained for the grand partition function. The fractions of sites of both types which are occupied and unoccupied are determined. It is shown that an equilibrium constant can be defined for the adsorption of ions at oppositely charged sites.
