where is the solid/liquid interfacial tension at the neutral surface. Molecular simulations assume that the wetting occurs directly on the conductor surface, however, as previously mentioned, most of the experiments are conducted with a dielectric placed between the electrode and the electrolyte. In this case, the electrostatic energy is mainly stored in the dielectric layer, rather than in the EDL . Papaderakis et al. have recently described EWOC experiments using the basal plane of atomically smooth graphite (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, HOPG) in direct contact with aqueous electrolytes of alkali metal halides of increasing ionic concentrations up to the "water-in-salt" range . Their findings demonstrate that a decrease in the electrolyte concentration results in a strongly asymmetric contact angle dependence on the applied voltage relative to the potential of zero charge. They interpreted the observed asymmetry on the basis of the underlying electrochemically induced charge transfer processes occurring at the surface of graphite and their effect on the surface charge.
