Abstract

Ion distributions were obtained by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The electrostatic interactions among ions were determined by solving the Poisson equation directly based on the restricted primitive model of electrolyte. The surface excess, bulk concentration, and chemical potential were determined from MC. The interfacial tension was then obtained from Gibbs adsorption isotherm.
