This study presents a new iterative method to calculate electrical potential distribution in systems with multiple charged surfaces, including complex mixed boundary conditions. The method simplifies simulations of systems with many surfaces.

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Surface Science
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Understanding electrical potential distribution is crucial for systems with charged surfaces.
  • Mixed boundary conditions, combining constant potential and charge density, are common in real-world applications like ionizable functional groups and patchwise charged surfaces.
  • Existing models often simplify boundary conditions, limiting their applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for investigating electrical potential distribution in systems with multiple charged surfaces under general boundary conditions.
  • To introduce a systematic iterative method for solving the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation for these complex systems.
  • To provide a criterion for assessing the suitability of approximate methods based on inter-particle distances.
