It should be noted that Eq. 6 is a (over)simiplification because -[𝑆𝑂 - . ] 678 not only balances the positive charges on the electrode surface, but also interacts electrostatically with cations in the EDL. Thus, the adsorption of -[𝑆𝑂 - . ] 678 is accompanied with the breaking of such electrostatic interactions, as in:
