“…Van Brocklin and David (28) and Hu et al (29) have studied systems involving a charged surface in contact with an electrolytic solution, but they (28,29) did not consider the existence and functioning of an electrical double layer because they used Nernst-Planck models (28,29), which require that both the space charge density, ρ cd , and the current density, i, are equal to zero (ρ cd = 0 and i = 0) everywhere in space for all times; but the requirements of these Nernst-Planck models (28,29) do not satisfy the physical fact that in a system involving a charged surface in contact with an electrolytic solution there will always exist (27) an electrical double layer which has physical properties, as described in items (i)-(iii) above, that are not accounted for in the Nernst-Planck models (28,29). Therefore, the results presented by van Brocklin and David (28) and Hu et al (29) have been obtained from models that do not properly represent the physics of the systems that they (28,29) intended to study.…”
