Nonprimitive Electrolyte Near a Charged Wall: Generalized Mean Spherical Approximation.
Abstract
In this report we consider a simplified model of an electrode-electrolyte interface which takes into account the discreteness of the solvent. The electrode is represented as a hard infinite plane with a uniform surface charge density, while the electrolytic solution is modeled as a mixture of charged hard spheres (the ions) and dipolar (nonpolarizable) hard spheres (the solvent). In addition, we assume the electrode has a dielectric constant unit; thus we ignore the image effects. For this model we developed a treatment in which all the interactions (ion-ion, ion-solvent, solvent-solvent, electrode solution) are considered on the same (classical) statistical mechanical basis. In particular the solvent is taken as a fully orientable system and no special treatment of a hypothetical inner layer is made.
