First, the Nernstian shift with pH (59 mV/decade) of these features, already well-documented in the literature, means that a proton must be transferred in the process responsible for the surface charge. Limiting ourselves to chloride containing electrolytes (Fig. ), we observe also a negative shift with increasing ionic strength 𝐼 in the order of 10 -30 mV/decade. While a charge transfer contribution cannot be excluded a priori, we tend to interpret this shift stemming from an energetic contribution:
