Abstract
In this work the renormalized jellium model of colloidal suspensions, originally proposed by Trizac and Levin [Phys. Rev. E 69, 031403 (2004)], is extended to study mechanisms of charge renormalization in binary mixtures of charged colloids. We here apply our recent reformulation that introduces the requirement of self-consistency directly into the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, i.e., the background charge is explicitly replaced by the effective one, thus facilitating the whole charge renormalization scheme. We briefly discuss the reformulated model for monodisperse charged suspensions composed of either spheres or rods. In particular, we put emphasis on the effects of the surface charge variation, mixture composition, and particle size on the charge regulation of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions.
