    Electric Double Layer

    Uploaded by

    Hadi Fauzi
    The electrical double layer is a structure that forms around objects placed in liquids. It consists of two layers - the Stern layer of ions directly attached to the object's surface due to chemical forces, and the diffuse layer of free ions in the liquid influenced by the object's electric field. The electrical double layer, along with van der Waals forces, contributes to the stability of colloids through a balance of attractive and repulsive forces. It plays a key role in phenomena like preventing fat droplets in milk from coagulating into butter.

    G-10
    OBJECTIVE
    • Definition of electrical double layer
    • Parts of electrical double layer
    • Relationship DVLO and electrical double layer
    • Relationship zeta potential and electrical
    double layer
    • Application electrical double layer in life
    DEFINITION

    Electrical double layer is a structure


    that appears on the surface of an
    object when it is placed into a liquid.

    Electrical Double Layer is essential for


    the mechanism of the electrostatic
    stabilization of colloids.
    • Electrical Double Layer consists of layer
    surrounding the particle of dispersed phased,
    adsorbed ions on the particles surface, and
    the countercharged dispersion medium.
    • Electrical Double Layer is electrically neutral.
    • The double layer refers to two parallel layers of
    charge surrounding the object.
    • The first layer which known as Stern layer is the
    surface charge which comprises ions adsorbed
    directly to the object due to chemical interactions.
    • The second layer which known as diffuse layer is
    composed of free ions moving in the fluid under
    influence of electric attraction and thermal
    motion.
    Parts of electrical double layer:
    a) Surface charge- negatively charged ions
    adsorbed on particle surface.
    b) Stern layer- positively charged ions
    attracted to the particle surface and
    attached by electrostatic force.
    c) Diffuse layer- contains free ions with
    higher counter ions concentrations. It is
    affected by the electrostatic force
    produced by the charged particle.

    Electrical
    Double Layer

    Slipping plane (shear plane)- a layer of


    surrounding liquid attached to the particle
    when the colloid particle moves in the
    dispersion medium. Zeta potential is the
    value of electrical potential at slipping plane.
    • DVLO involve combination of two forces that
    are acting on the colloid particle
    • The forces are Van der Waals forces (attractive
    force) and electrical double layer (repulsive
    force)
    • Stability:
    a)Attractive > repulsive = flocculation(not stable)
    b)Repulsive > attractive = no flocculation(stable)
    EXAMPLE
    • Milk exists only because fat droplets are
    covered with a double layer that prevent
    their coagulation into butter. 
    • Can be found in heterogeneous fluid-based
    systems, such as blood, paints, inks, ceramic
    slurries and cement slurries.
    CONCLUSION
    • Electrical double layer is divided into 3 parts
    which are Surface charge, Stern layer, and
    Diffuse layer.
    • Electrical double layer, DVLO, and Zeta
    potential are related to stabilization of colloid.
