Formation of the Boundary Layer Enriched in Protons

The observed Volta potential does not change at a sufficiently large buffer capadty of the solution (from 5 to 100 ml tris-HCl). This indicates that the change of the potential shift at the octane/water interface results from electron transfer across the interface and not from the pH change in the boundary layer. As shown in Refs. [8,47], however, during a redox reaction on BLM incrusted with chlorophyll, a layer adjacent to the 

The value of the Volta potential being investigated does not depend on the manner the redox reaction is stated by the substrate NADH in the aqueous phase, by chlorophyll at the interface, or by the electron acceptor in the nonaqueous phase. No changes in Volta potentials were observed when one of the components of the reaction under investigation was excluded.
