Abstract
The conditions under which an oxide surface in aqueous solution will obey the Nernst equation with respect to H+/OH– as potential-determining ions are investigated and a modified form of the Nernst equation is derived. This is combined with a model of the inner part of the double layer involving adsorption of both anions and cations of a supporting uni-univalent electrolyte and a discreteness-of-charge correction in their adsorption isotherms. Theoretical total differential capacities at the interface are compared with experimental data for TiO2 and SiO2.
