Abstract:Charge profiles in liquid electrolytes are of crucial importance for applications, such as supercapacitors, fuel cells, batteries, or the self-assembly of particles in colloidal or biological settings. However, creating localised (screened) charge profiles in the bulk of such electrolytes, generally requires presence of surfaces -for example provided by colloidal particles or outer surfaces of the material, -which poses a fundamental constraint on the material design. Here, we show that topological defects in … Show more
