The problem of the electric double layer in electrolytes is considered. The Poisson equation is integrated with account for the screening of electrodes by salt ions and water molecules. The space charge layer has been calculated. The volt–ampere characteristics in NaCl and KCl solutions are presented. A method for determining the temperature of ions from the volt–ampere characteristic of the electrolyte solution is proposed.
