The iterative method in functional analysis is applied to looking for a solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation in order to describe the problems of the distribution of the potentials in the electric double layer (EDL) inside the water pool for a cylindrical inverse micelle. Potentials as a function of the position of a particular point in EDL are computed, which display a quantitative agreement with those from earlier calculation of Debye and Hückel in the case of low potentials. But it is also shown that in the higher-potential range the iterative calculations can give more accurate results. These results indicate the utility of this functional analysis technique in the description of the properties of EDL for a cylindrical inverse micelle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
