Reorganization energy of electron transfer processes in ionic fluids: a molecular Debye-Hückel approach.

A molecular Debye-Hückel approach to the reorganization energy of electron transfer reactions in an electric cell.

Electron transfer near an electrode immersed in ionic fluids is studied using the linear response approximation, namely, mean value of the vertical energy gap can be used to evaluate the reorganization energy, and hence any linear response model that can treat Coulomb interactions successfully can be used for the reorganization energy calculation. Specifically, a molecular Debye-Hückel theory i...

A Molecular Debye-Hückel Theory and Its Applications to Electrolyte Solutions

In this report, a molecular Debye-Hückel theory for ionic fluids is developed. Starting from the macroscopic Maxwell equations for bulk systems, the dispersion relation leads to a generalized Debye-Hückel theory which is related to the dressed ion theory in the static case. Due to the multi-pole structure of dielectric function of ionic fluids, the electric potential around a single ion has a m...

Solvation dynamics in ionic fluids: an extended Debye-Hückel dielectric continuum model.

Motivated by our recent proposition on the possibility of using dielectric continuum models to interpret experimental measurements of solvation dynamics in room temperature ionic liquids [J. Phys. Chem. A 110, 8623 (2006)], some detailed simulation studies are performed to test the validity of our proposition. From these simulation studies, it seems to be justified that an extended Debye-Hückel...

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Non-Newtonian Fluid Flows in Narrow Confinements Considering the Effects of Streaming Potential

Thermal characteristics of pressure-driven, power-law fluid flows through narrow confinements are analyzed following a semi-analytical approach, by taking into consideration the electrokinetic effects beyond the Debye-Hückel limit. The influence of the induced streaming potential on the flow velocity, temperature and Nusselt number are delineated for parametric variations of the ionic Peclet nu...
