Preferred Label : diffuse layer;
Detailed label : diffuse layer in electrochemistry;
IUPAC definition : The region in which non-specifically adsorbed ions are accumulated and distributed
by the contrasting action of the electric field and thermal motion. Counter and co-ions
in immediate contact with the surface are said to be located in the Stern layer. Ions
farther away from the surface form the diffuse layer or Gouy layer.;
