Abstract
The modified Gouy-Chapman (MGC) theory has been used to study the electrical double layer near two charged plates immersed in a model electrolyte. The effects of assigning to the cations and anions different distances of closest approach to the charged surfaces are examined. The dependence of overcharging and charge reversal on the system parameters such as concentration, ion size and valence, is investigated both inside and outside the charged slit.
