“…Indeed, it is not until very recently do we start to understand many of the anomalous phenomena associated with the formation of EDL particularly in small nano-sized pores, for example the drastically increased capacitance and the distortion of ion solvation shell in pores below 2 nm, to name a few [1,2]. Although the structure and property of EDLs on metal and carbon-based electrode have been widely studied via the various numeric simulation (i.e., continuum modeling [3], classic MD simulation [4][5][6], grand canonical Monte Carlo [7,8], and classic density functional theory [9]), many questions remain to be explored such as the effect of ion size, degree of ion hydration, dielectric constant of solvents [10][11][12][13][14][15], the potential-dependent EDL structure, and the "bell" or "U" shaped differential capacitance [16,17]. A comprehensive understanding of the EDL structure and its dependence on various ion type and different charging conditions remains vacant.…”
