Zeta電位的介紹

Zeta potential is an electrostatic potential that exists very near the surface of particles suspended in liquids1. Zeta potential (ζ) is responsible for particle-particle repulsion forces in colloidal suspensions and thus can be used to predict colloid stability against particle aggregation. Figure 1 illustrates a particle suspended in a liquid along with various notional regions around it.  The“slipping plane” or “shear plane” is where Zeta potential is located versus the potential in the bulk solution. Within this slipping plane, the liquid is bound to the particle while it moves freely outside this boundary. The net potential far from the particle (in the bulk of the liquid) is zero.

Zeta電位是液體中懸浮的粒子很接近表面位置的靜電勢1.Zeta電位(ζ)是由膠體中粒子與粒子間的相互作用造成的，因此它可以用來預測膠體體系里粒子聚集的穩(wěn)定性。圖1顯示了懸浮在液體中的粒子及其周圍的各種概念區(qū)域。Zeta電位指的是液體中滑動面或者剪切面的電位。在這個滑動平面內，當液體在這個邊界外自由運動時，它與粒子結合在一起。遠離粒子的凈電勢(在液體中)為零。

PS：這個是另外的一種說法，但是要描述的內容是一樣的；

由于分散粒子表面帶有電荷而吸引周圍的反號離子，這些反號離子在兩相界面呈擴散狀態(tài)分布而形成擴散雙電層。根據(jù)Stern雙電層理論可將雙電層分為兩部分，即Stern層和擴散層。Stern層定義為吸附在電極表面的一層離子（IHP or OHP）電荷中心組成的一個平面層，此平面層相對遠離界面的流體中的某點的電位稱為Stern電位。穩(wěn)定層(Stationary layer) (包括Stern層和滑動面slipping plane以內的部分擴散層) 與擴散層內分散介質(dispersion medium)發(fā)生相對移動時的界面是滑動面(slipping plane)，該處對遠離界面的流體中的某點的電位稱為Zeta電位或電動電位（ζ-電位）。
