ELECTRICAL DOUBLE LAYER

Specialty Definition: ELECTRICAL DOUBLE LAYER

DomainDefinition

Mining

Helmholtz layer. Zone that surrounds a particle in aqueous suspension or other electrolyte. Transition zone between the monomolecular zone of shear immediately coupled ionically to the discontinuity lattice at the particle's surface and the normal aqueous phase that exists from 50 to 5,000 Aa and beyond. This zone of change contains a superconcentration of ions drawn from the normal population of the liquid phase.See also:zeta potential. (references)

Specialty Definition: Electrical double layer

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The electrical double layer describes the variation of electric potential near a surface, and has a large bearing on the behaviour of colloids and other surfaces in contact with solutions.

Historical development of double layer models

The earliest model of the electrical double layer is usually attributed to Helmholtz (1879). Helmholtz treated the double layer mathematically as a simple capacitor, based on a physical model in which a single layer of ions is adsorbed at the surface.

Later Gouy and Chapman (1910-1913) made significant improvements by introducing a diffuse model of the electrical double layer, in which the potential at a surface decreases exponentially due to adsorbed counter-ions from the solution.

The current classical electrical double layer is the Gouy-Chapman-Stern model, which combines the Helmholtz single adsorbed layer with the Gouy-Chapman diffuse layer. Important approximations used in this model are:
