Model charged cylindrical nanopore in a colloidal dispersion: charge reversal, overcharging and double overcharging
Using the hypernetted-chain/mean spherical approximation (HNC/MSA) integral equations we study the electrical double layer inside and outside a model charged cylindrical vesicle (nanopore) immersed into a primitive model macroions solution, so that the macroions are only present outside the nanopor...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | Using the hypernetted-chain/mean spherical approximation (HNC/MSA) integral equations we study the electrical double layer inside and outside a model charged cylindrical vesicle (nanopore) immersed into a primitive
model macroions solution, so that the macroions are only present outside the nanopore, i.e., the vesicle wall
is impermeable only to the external macroions. We calculate the ionic and local linear charge density profiles
inside and outside the vesicle, and find that the correlation between the inside and outside ionic distributions
causes the phenomena of overcharging (also referred to as surface charge amplification) and/or charge reversal. This is the first time overcharging is predicted in an electrical double layer of cylindrical geometry. We also
report the new phenomenon of double overcharging. The present results can be of consequence for relevant
systems in physical-chemistry, energy storage and biology, e.g., nanofilters, capacitors and cell membranes. |
