In-plane structure of the electric double layer in the primitive model using classical density functional theory
Peter Cats, Andreas Härtel
The electric double layer (EDL) has a pivotal role in screening charges on surfaces as in supercapacitor electrodes or colloidal and polymer solutions. Its structure is determined…
Absence of anomalous underscreening in highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes confined between smooth silica surfaces
Saravana Kumar, Peter Cats, Mohammed B. Alotaibi +5
Recent experiments and a series of subsequent theoretical studies suggest the occurrence of universal underscreening in highly concentrated electrolyte solutions. We performed a se…
The Differential Capacitance as a probe for the electric double layer structure and the electrolyte bulk composition
Peter Cats, René van Roij
In this work we theoretically study the differential capacitance of an aqueous electrolyte in contact with a planar electrode, using classical Density Functional Theory, and show h…
Capacitance and Structure of Electric Double Layers: Comparing Brownian Dynamics and Classical Density Functional Theory
Peter Cats, Ranisha S. Sitlapersad, Wouter K. den Otter +2
We present a study of the structure and differential capacitance of electric double layers of aqueous electrolytes. We consider Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) composed of…
Machine-learning free-energy functionals using density profiles from simulations
Peter Cats, Sander Kuipers, Sacha de Wind +4
The formally exact framework of equilibrium Density Functional Theory (DFT) is capable of simultaneously and consistently describing thermodynamic and structural properties of inte…
Primitive Model Electrolytes in the Near and Far Field: Decay Lengths from DFT and Simulations
P. Cats, R. Evans, A. Härtel +1
Inspired by recent experimental observations of anomalously large decay lengths in concentrated electrolytes, we revisit the Restricted Primitive Model (RPM) for an aqueous electro…
