Mass storage in space charge regions of nano-sized systems (Nano-ionics. Part V)

The consideration of space charge effects at interfaces results in the prediction of considerable storage anomalies in two-phase materials. They are particularly expected in nano-sized systems building a bridge between chemical and electrostatic storage. These effects are systematically treated in the model of an abrupt planar contact. Several examples of fundamental and/or practical interest are analysed in greater detail.
