The study of the electrical double layer lies at the heart of colloidal and interfacial science.
The standard mean-field Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) theory is incapable of modeling many …

It is widely accepted that the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory provides a valid description for
charged surfaces in the so-called weak coupling limit. Here, we show that the image charge …

Most chemical engineering processes involve complex multiphase fluid systems, and their
evolution depends on the mechanism by which the inhomogeneous subsystems exchange …

Understanding the dynamics of electric-double-layer (EDL) charging in porous media is
essential for advancements in next-generation energy storage devices. Due to the high …

We develop a fast method for computing the electrostatic energy and forces for a collection
of charges in doubly periodic slabs with jumps in the dielectric permittivity at the slab …

The molecular mechanism of ion channel gating and substrate modulation is elusive for
many voltage gated ion channels, such as eukaryotic sodium ones. The understanding of …

We develop a modified Poisson--Nernst--Planck model which includes both the long-range
Coulomb and short-range hard-sphere correlations in its free energy functional such that the …

We theoretically investigate an electric-field-driven system of charged spheres as a primitive
model of concentrated electrolytes under an applied electric field. First, we provide a unified …

Ion transport, often described by the Poisson–Nernst–Planck (PNP) equations, is ubiquitous
in electrochemical devices and many biological processes of significance. In this work, we …

We derive a set of modified Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations for ion transport from
the variation of the free energy functional which includes the many-body Coulomb …
