Ion specific forces between charged self-assembled monolayersexplained by modified DLVO theory

• We recently investigated specific ion effects near a single charged self-assembled monolayer (SAM) in asalt solution by exploiting a modified Poisson–Boltzmann equation that accounts for both water profileand ion-surface potential profiles inferred from molecular dynamics simulations. In the present contributionwe extend this work to consider two charged SAMs interacting across different salt solution. Ourresults demonstrate one important reason why the double layer force between charged colloidal surfacesin electrolytes could be highly ion specific.
