Figure 1

Classical Stern model - based illustration of the electrical double layer for CsCl / H 2 O - Au. Cesium ions pack in at the electrode surface, distorting the local electrolyte structure, in two regions known as the inner Stern layer and the diffuse layer. Beyond the first few atomic layers at the surface, the electrolyte has bulk-like structure. Note that concentration profiles calculated with molecular simulation are found to be significantly different.
