By including excess ion polarizability into Poisson-Boltzmann theory, we show that the decrease in differential capacitance with voltage, observed for metal electrodes above a threshold potential, can be understood in terms of thickening of the double layer due to ion-induced polarizability-holes in water. We identify a new length which controls the role of excess ion polarizability in the doub...
