Most of the properties of a metal-electrolyte interface, even the
spe cific nature of an electrode reaction, proneness of a metal to
cor rosion, etc., are primarily determined by the electrical double
layer (EDL) at this boundary. It is therefore no surprise that for
the last, at least, one hundred years intent attention should have
been centered on EDL. So much of material has been gathered to date
that we are easi ly lost in this maze of information. A substantial
part of the attempts to systematize these facts is made at present
within the framework of thermodynamics. Such a confined approach is
undoubtedly inadequate. The Gouy-Chapman theory and the
Stern-Grahame model of the dense part of EDL developed 40-70 years
ago, tailored appropriately to suit the occasion, inevitably
underlie any description of EDL. This route is rather too narrow to
explain all the facts at our disposal. A dire necessity has thus
arisen for widening the principles of the micros copic theory. This
is precisely the objective of our monograph. Fur thermore, we shall
dwell at length on the comparison of the theory with experiment:
without such a comparative analysis, any theory, however elegant it
may be, is just an empty drum.
