electric double layer

What Factors Affect the Electric Double Layer?

Several factors influence the characteristics of the EDL:
Surface Charge Density: Higher surface charge density leads to a more compact EDL.
Ionic Strength: Increased ionic strength of the electrolyte compresses the EDL, reducing its thickness.
Temperature: Higher temperatures generally increase the thermal motion of ions, affecting the stability of the EDL.
pH Levels: The pH of the electrolyte can alter the charge on the surface, thus modifying the EDL.
Electrolyte Composition: Different ions have varying affinities for the surface, impacting the structure and properties of the EDL.
