Significant progress has been made in recent years in theoretical modeling of the electric
double layer (EDL), a key concept in electrochemistry important for energy storage …

Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global
population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water …

Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

Ions in ionic liquids and concentrated electrolytes reside in a crowded, strongly interacting
environment, leading to the formation of discrete layers of charges at interfaces and spin …

Electric double layer formation often governs the rate and selectivity of CO2 electrochemical
reduction. Ionic correlations critically define double layer properties that are essential to …

We have developed a molecular mean-field theory—fourth-order Poisson–Nernst–Planck–
Bikerman theory—for modeling ionic and water flows in biological ion channels by treating …

We propose a field-theoretical approach based on the thermodynamic perturbation theory
and within it derive a grand thermodynamic potential of the inhomogeneous ionic fluid as a …

In this paper, we present a covariant approach that utilizes Noether's second theorem to
derive a symmetric stress tensor from the grand thermodynamic potential functional. We …

Aqueous electrolyte solutions containing multivalent ions exhibit various intriguing
properties, including attraction between like-charged colloidal particles, which results from …

In this review, we shortly summarize the basic theoretical milestones achieved in the mean-
field theory of room temperature ionic liquids on charged electrodes since the publication of …
