Simulation of the Electric Field Distribution Near a Topographically Nanostructured Titanium-Electrolyte Interface: Influence of the Passivation Layer

Figure 2

Course of the electric potential and the bottom conduction band of the TiO2 passivation layer over a planar titanium-electrolyte interface in kinetic equilibrium. The Galvani potential drop is induced by the difference of the titanium work function and the reference electron energy level in the bulk solution .
