What Does EDL Stand For?
EDL stands for Electric Double Layer
EDL, or Electric Double Layer, refers to a region that forms at the interface between a solid surface and an electrolyte solution. It consists of two layers of charged particles: the inner layer includes charges that are firmly attached to the surface, while the outer layer consists of solvated ions that are distributed in the electrolyte. The Electric Double Layer plays a critical role in various electrochemical processes, influencing phenomena such as electrical conductivity, charge transfer, and electrokinetic effects in colloidal systems and nanostructured materials. Understanding the EDL is essential for advancements in fields like energy storage, corrosion science, and sensor technology.
