Models of the Electrical Double Layer

An Overview of the Present Situation

  • Chapter
Trends in Interfacial Electrochemistry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 179))

Abstract

Although attempts to model the electrical double layer are more than a century old there is still no satisfactory explanation for the variety of phenomena observed. In the last few years, as a result of advances in experimental techniques as well as the development of theoretical interest in interphases, there has been an attempt to construct a model of this region based more firmly on molecular concepts. The present paper surveys some of the progress made in this direction towards the solution of seven problems which arise in the consideration of the electrical double layer.
