On the estimation of the diffuse double layer of carbon nanotubes using classical theory: curvature effects on the Gouy-Chapman limit
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is solved numerically in cylindrical space to examine the effects of curvature upon the properties of the diffuse double layer at a charged nanotube in electrolytic solution. Simulations reveal increased double layer capacitance, especially for cylinders with radius le...
