This review details the electrical double layer at liquid interfaces, covering historical theories and modern advancements like nonlocal electrostatics and hydration forces. It analyzes the structure of interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) and how adsorption affects them.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry
  • Interface Science

Background:

  • The electrical double layer (EDL) is crucial for understanding charge transfer at interfaces.
  • Liquid/liquid interfaces, specifically interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), present unique challenges compared to solid electrodes.
  • Classical theories provide a foundation but require refinement for complex interfacial phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive historical overview and current status of EDL theory at liquid/liquid interfaces.
  • To rigorously define thermodynamic concepts related to liquid interfaces and EDLs.
  • To critically evaluate classical and modern EDL theories using computer simulations and experimental observations.

Main Methods:

  • Thermodynamic analysis of interfacial phenomena.
