Talk:Poisson–Boltzmann equation

Untitled

" Nevertheless, at room temperature, $\psi \leq 25mV$ and that is generally the standard." - I'm dubious of what this mean; surely the potential of the surface is material and electrolyte dependant - and so there can be no "standard". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:D0:F118:222:4DFF:FE83:82E0 (talk) 09:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Mean Field Approach

It should be noted that the Poisson Boltzmann equation can be derived from a mean field approach. See e.g. http://www.memphys.sdu.dk/~besold/INDEX/Poisson-Boltzmann.pdf and there on page 3--Biggerj1 (talk) 22:59, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi User:Xxanthippe, apparently you do not find this Google search convincing (since you even reverted my edits on the talk page and in the article)? [1] The fact that making use of the Poisson–Boltzmann equation means using a mean field approach should be mentioned somewhere --Biggerj1 (talk) 08:15, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Find a reputable source then. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:13, 18 September 2015 (UTC).

Nothing easier than this: [2] or [3] --Biggerj1 (talk) 12:56, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Error in High Potential Equation

In the "High Potential Case", the first equation clearly needs to have some changes made, since its right-hand side equals 1 identically. The second equation may need some too.

Charge "e" and exponential "e"

I find the equations in background and derivation a bit puzzling since the charge of an electron is denoted "e" while "e" is simultaneously employed in exponential functions. Any chances we could resolve this (small) source of confusion? Should we maybe use e for the charge of an electron, even though it is a scalar? Naturvetare1993 (talk) 16:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Beyond Poisson-Boltzman
