Abstract

Based on the premise that ion—ion interaction energy term contributions to the chemical potential of an ionic species in the inhomogeneous region cannot be neglected, the basic nonlinear differential equations relating the electric potential profile, dielectric profile and concentration profiles are formulated. Analytical expressions for solutions of these differential equations are obtained. It is shown that the magnitudes of the inhomogeneous region and electric potential difference are determined by the system in a self-consistent manner. Certain interesting conclusions, in contradiction with classic Gouy—Chapman theory, are obtained.
