Title: On the electrical double layer theory. I. A numerical method for solving a generalized Poisson—Boltzmann equation
Abstract: Based on asymptotic behavior of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, a numerical procedure for its solving is suggested. The method may be used both for single and for overlapped double layers and does not depend on the explicit form of the equation. The method is tested by comparing the numerical results with the analytical solution of the equation that was obtained for a 1-1 electrolyte, using the Gouy-Chapman theory. The accuracy of the method is found to be up to the 4th significant digit in a wide interval of the surface potentials.
