  • Calculation of surface potentials using the electrokinetic isoelectric point.
  • Analysis of the relationship between surface potential and pH, considering ionic strength effects.
  • Main Results:

    • The hematite monocrystal electrode demonstrated reproducible potential measurements, particularly in acidic conditions.
    • Calculated surface potentials exhibited a slope with respect to pH that was lower than the theoretical Nernstian value, especially in basic regions.
    • The deviation from Nernstian behavior was exacerbated by increased ionic strength.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed hematite electrode is a reliable tool for measuring surface potential.
    • Surface potential measurements provide valuable insights into the equilibrium at the metal oxide-water interface.
    • The findings aid in selecting appropriate theoretical models for describing interfacial processes.
