Fast Evaluation of Differential Capacity and Surface Charge in Electrical Double Layers with A.C. Oscillopolarography

The application of a.c. oscillopolarography for a fast evaluation of differential capacity and surface charge in electrical double layers on the mercury electrode is described. The Cd = f(E), Q = f(E) and γ = f(E) functions are displayed. The obtained values of differential capacity and surface charge densities are in agreement with those from the a.c. bridge method. The new method has the distinct advantages of a rapid analytical procedure, visual detection, very simple manipulation and low-cost instrumentation. It is very useful in practical analysis where accurate values of differential capacity and surface charge are not required.
