On the pH Dependence of the Potential of Maximum Entropy of Ir(111) Electrodes

Abstract Studies over the entropy of components forming the electrode/electrolyte interface can give fundamental insights into the properties of electrified interphases. In particular, the potential where the entropy of formation of the double layer is maximal (potential of maximum entropy, PME) is...
