Abstract
The thermodynamics of solid electrodes are discussed in light of the recent measurements of surface stress. Interfacial tension and surface stress are not even approximately equal, and they generally exhibit a different dependence on the electrode potential. The variation of the interfacial strain with potential is small so that the Lippmann equation for a solid is practically the same as for a liquid electrode. Changes in the interfacial tension can be obtained by integrating the charge density over the potential.
