We study the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann equation in the context of dense ionic liquids where steric effects become important. We generalise lattice gas theory by introducing a Flory-Huggins entropy for ions of differing volumes and then compare the effective free energy density to other existing lattice gas approximations, not based on the Flory-Huggins Ansatz. Within the methodology presented we also invoke more realistic equations of state, such as the Carnahan-Starling approximation, that are not based on the lattice gas approximation and lead to thermodynamic functions and properties that differ strongly from the lattice gas case. We solve the Carnahan-Starling model in the high density limit, and demonstrate a slow, power-law convergence at high potentials. We elucidate how equivalent convex free energy functions can be constructed that describe steric effects in a manner which is more convenient for numerical minimisation.
