Electric double layer theory for room temperature ionic liquids on charged electrodes: milestones and prospects
Current Opinion in Electrochemistry. 2022. Vol. 33. Article 100931.
Budkov Y., Kolesnikov A. L.
In this review, we shortly summarize the basic theoretical milestones achieved in the mean-field theory of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) on charged electrodes since the publication of Kornyshev’s seminal paper in 2007. We pay special attention to the behavior of the differential capacitance profile and the microscopic parameters of ions that can have substantial influence on it. Among them are parameters of short-range specific interactions, ionic diameters, static polarizabilities, and permanent dipole moments. We also discuss the recent ”nonlocal” mean-field theories that can describe the overscreening behavior of the local ionic concentrations, as well as the crossover from overscreening to crowding.

Исследуются свойства оптических покрытий на основе использования упрощенного симулятора ошибок в толщинах слоев покрытий при их напылении. Обосновывается возможность такого подхода. Выводятся аналитические оценки среднеквадратичного значения нормы вектора ошибок и степени коррелированности ошибок в толщинах слоев покрытия. Изучается зависимость среднеквадратичного значения нормы вектора ошибок и свойств покрытия от уровня случайных ошибок в слоях. ...

We investigate the prospects for observing a specific spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave
background, which occurs due to the anisotropy of the radiation when it is scattered by hot plasma of
galaxy clusters. Detection of this anisotropic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect would enable an independent
measurement of the CMB anisotropy multipoles with l 1⁄4 1, 2, 3, allow the ...

Dirty superconducting films with magnetic impurities can exhibit nontrivial behavior in a magnetic field that
polarizes the impurity spins. As predicted by Kharitonov and Feigelman (KF) [JETP Lett. 82, 421 (2005)],
this polarization reduces the exchange scattering rate. Consequently, a parallel magnetic field can enhance
the critical temperature Tc when magnetic-field pair breaking is weak, as realized for ...

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as promising materials for next-generation light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their solution processability, tunable emission wavelengths, narrow emission linewidths, and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Among them, anisotropic nanocrystals, including one-dimensional nanorods (NRs) and two-dimensional nanoplatelets (NPLs), offer additional opportunities for controlling transition dipole moment orientation and light out-coupling efficiency. These ...

The use of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractants for metal ion separation is largely due to the ease of their preparation and the possibility of modifying them depending on the composition of the metal mixture to be separated. However, the most common approach to DES modification involves the replacement of the extractant, while ...

We derive the stress tensor of a flexible polymer solution within the Gaussian-chain self-consistent field theory (SCFT) without invoking the ground-state dominance (GSD) approximation. Starting from a covariant formulation of the single-chain partition function in a background metric, we obtain the symmetric stress tensor expressed through the full Edwards propagators. The result contains the local ...

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself.

The electric double layer (EDL) governs charge distribution at electrode–electrolyte interfaces, controlling reaction kinetics and energy storage performance. This mini review surveys the evolution of EDL theory—from the classical Gouy-Chapman-Stern framework to modern coupled quantum-continuum schemes that integrate electronic structure with statistical mechanics. We show how modified Poisson–Boltzmann (mPB) formu-lations incorporating finite ion size, dielectric ...
