Structure of the Double Layer at Solid Solution Interfaces.

Abstract

The structure of the electrical double layer at solid metal-solution interface has been studied. A new technique, based on electrocapillary thermodynamics, has been developed to determine surface excess charge of ions at an electrode for various electrode potentials and solution concentrations. The technique makes use of rapid immersion of a dry electrode into solution and following the charging current required to form the electrical double layer. With this technique, the potentials of zero charge of gold and nickel electrodes and surface excesses of the chloride ions at gold electrode have been determined. (Author)
