Abstract

With the help of the iterative method in functional analysis theory based on the Gouy–Chapman model in the colloid and interface chemistry an analytic solution of the potential of electrical double layer of spherical micelles has been obtained. This method has eliminated the restriction that the Poisson–Boltzmann equation, which represents the distribution of the potential in the double layer, can be solved only under the condition of zeψ≪kT so far. The connections between the present results and those from Verwey and Overbeek's previous work have also been discussed. Our approach provides a simple but effective method for the calculation of the potential of electrical double layer under general potential condition.
