Phys.org has a nice snippet on the Gouy-Chapman theory that describes how
charge is distributed in electrolysis, but now 40-50 years later they found
that the description isn't really correct. They found that the double layer
could be bigger or smaller than expected and it has dependencies on the
size of the ion molecule and the electrode materials which can affect the
electrochemistry of some reactions.

It's a nice little read at
