First author: Wu Jianzhong Corresponding author: Wu Jianzhong Correspondence unit: University of California Riverside [research background] Electric double layer (EDL) is an important concept in electrochemistry, which was first proposed by Helmholtz in 1853 (as shown in Figure 1). Due to its importance in electrochemical energy storage and chemical conversion, EDL has become the focus of basic and applied research in material chemistry, physics and many engineering disciplines. Although great progress has been made in the theoretical modeling of EDL, it is not enough to understand the micro details of…
