Mean-field description of ionic size effects with nonuniform ionic sizes: a numerical approach.
Ionic size effects are significant in many biological systems. Mean-field descriptions of such effects can be efficient but also challenging. When ionic sizes are different, explicit formulas in such descriptions are not available for the dependence of the ionic concentrations on the electrostatic potential, that is, there is no explicit Boltzmann-type distributions. This work begins with a var...
متن کاملContinuum electrostatics for ionic solutions with non-uniform ionic sizes
This work concerns electrostatic properties of an ionic solution with multiple ionic species of possibly different ionic sizes. Such properties are described by the minimization of an electrostatic free-energy functional of ionic concentrations. Bounds are obtained for ionic concentrations with low electrostatic free energies. Such bounds are used to show that there exists a unique set of equil...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Mean-Field Theory for Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
Research in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has exploded in the last two decades, which are marked by an exponential increase in the number of theoretical and experimental publications in this field. The typically good thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and solvability of RTILs make them superior electrolytes in many electrochemical applications, such as metal electrodeposition and e...
متن کاملDipolar Poisson-Boltzmann approach to ionic solutions: a mean field and loop expansion analysis.
We study the variation of the dielectric response of ionic aqueous solutions as function of their ionic strength. The effect of salt on the dielectric constant appears through the coupling between ions and dipolar water molecules. On a mean-field level, we account for any internal charge distribution of particles. The dipolar degrees of freedom are added to the ionic ones and result in a genera...
متن کاملTheoretical Description of Ionic Liquids
Ionic liquids are universally considered to be materials of the future. Their peculiar properties appeal to the most diverse technological areas such as chemical industry, electrochemistry, optics, environmental chemistry, medicine and nanotechnology. Their extraordinary macroscopic properties originate from the peculiar ionic nanoscopic structure and the possibility of modulating these propert...
