Charged colloidal particles neutralized by a single counterion are increasingly important for many emerging technologies. Attention here is paid specifically to hydrogen fuel cells and water electrolyzers whose catalyst layers are manufactured from a perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer (PFSA) suspended in aqueous/alcohol solutions. Partially dissolved PFSA aggregates, known collectively as ionomers, are stabilized by the electrostatic repulsion of overlapping diffuse double layers consisting of only protons dissociated from the suspended polymer. We denote such double layers containing no added electrolyte as "single ion". Sizedistribution predictions build upon interparticle interaction potential energies from the Derjaguin−Landau−Verwey−Overbeek (DLVO) formalism. However, when only a single counterion is present in solution, classical DLVO electrostatic potential energies no longer apply. Accordingly, here a new formulation is proposed to describe how single-counterion diffuse double layers interact in colloidal suspensions.
