Evolution of the electrical double layer with electrolyte concentration probed by second harmonic scattering

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Bingxin Chu, Marie Bischoff

Investigating the electrical double layer (EDL) structure has been a long-standing challenge and has seen the emergence of several sophisticated techniques able to probe selectively the few molecular layers of a solid/water interface. While a qualitative e ...
