Double layer of Platinum Electrodes: Non-Monotonic Surface Charging Phenomena and Negative Double Layer Capacitance

In this study, the refined double layer model of platinum electrodes accounts for chemisorbed oxygen species, oriented interfacial water molecules and ion size effects in solution. It results in a non-monotonic surface charging relation and a peculiar capacitance vs. potential curve with a maximum and maybe negative-defined values in the potential regime of oxide-formation. &nbsp
