Double layer structure Formation

The formation of an electrical double layer at a metal-solution interface brings about a particular arrangement of atoms, ions and molecules in the region near the electrode surface, and an associated variation in electrical potential with distance from the interface. The double layer structure may significantly affect the rates of electrochemical reactions. [Pg.21]

Recently, the Georgia Tech group of El-Sayed reported the initial results of a QDQW system containing two wells of HgS, separated by a wall of CdS. The two-well system, when characterized by absorption and emission spectroscopy, clearly revealed the formation of a two-well system rather than a single double-layer structure [307]. [Pg.90]

A double-layer term A ifUPD A) is included in the formation reaction which takes into account changes of the double layer structure when the substrate/electrolyte interface (A) is substituted by the UPD metal/electrolyte interface. If the chemisorption from the... [Pg.137]

Immunoassay has also been demonstrated with a bulk wave device in the presence of a liquid (11). In this study anti-human IgG was immobilized to the surface either as a mixture with polyacrylamide or as a covalently bonded layer. In both approaches sensor response to 0.6 to 1.4 mgmL concentrations of IgG was observed. Changes in sensor response with time after sample exposure were also noted by Thompson. These changes were attributed to increases in surface viscosity due to the formation of an antibody-antigen precipitin. Similar effects were seen by Bruckenstein, who believed they were caused by changes in double layer structure at the surface of a biased electrode (80). [Pg.316]

In blends of ABC with AB block copolymers a mixing at the molecular level of both blocks of the diblock copolymer with the corresponding blocks of the triblock terpolymer leads to a centrosymmetric superstructure. However, in the case of a blend of ABC and AC block copolymers a noncentrosymmetric structure is obtained when all diblock and triblock terpolymer molecules prefer to form common domains with the corresponding block of the other species. Before discussing this situation in some detail, other general possibilities for blend formations need to be considered. Besides the trivial case of macrophase separation and the random sequence of ABC and AC block copolymers due to equal energetic situations between the different A blocks and C blocks, two different centrosymmetric double-layered structures are also possible. [Pg.382]

Figure 8 gives an example of formation of double layer droplets in a sheared reactive polymer system. Initially the A/B blend was subject to shear which resulted in the formation of elongated droplets. Then reaction on the surface of the droplets took place after switching off the shear. That leads to relaxation of the elongated shape of the droplets towards spherical. The excess of polymer formed at the interface goes inside the droplets which forms a double layer structure. [Pg.586]

On the basis of experimental findings Heinze et al. propose the formation of a particularly stable, previously unknown tertiary structure between the charged chain segments and the solvated counterions in the polymer during galvanostatic or potentiostatic polymerization. During the discharging scan this structure is irreversibly altered. The absence of typical capacitive currents for the oxidized polymer film leads them to surmise that the postulated double layer effects are considerably smaller than previously assumed and that the broad current plateau is caused at least in part by faradaic redox processes. [Pg.24]

If the electrolyte components can react chemically, it often occurs that, in the absence of current flow, they are in chemical equilibrium, while their formation or consumption during the electrode process results in a chemical reaction leading to renewal of equilibrium. Electroactive substances mostly enter the charge transfer reaction when they approach the electrode to a distance roughly equal to that of the outer Helmholtz plane (Section 5.3.1). It is, however, sometimes necessary that they first be adsorbed. Similarly, adsorption of the products of the electrode reaction affects the electrode reaction and often retards it. Sometimes, the electroinactive components of the solution are also adsorbed, leading to a change in the structure of the electrical double layer which makes the approach of the electroactive substances to the electrode easier or more difficult. Electroactive substances can also be formed through surface reactions of the adsorbed substances. Crystallization processes can also play a role in processes connected with the formation of the solid phase, e.g. in the cathodic deposition of metals. [Pg.261]

The chemical and structural features of the membrane and cell wall are extensively discussed elsewhere in this volume (see Chapters 2, 6, 7 and 10). They usually contain numerous charged groups, which, as far as they are not internally compensated by counterions, give rise to the formation of an electric double layer at the interphase. The net charge of membrane surface plus cell wall is counterbalanced by a diffuse charge with opposite sign. This so-called diffuse... [Pg.115]
