    Abstract Image

    The electric double layer is an important structure that appears at charged liquid interfaces and determines the performance of various electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors and electrokinetic energy converters. Here, the double-layer capacitance of the interface between aluminum electrodes and water/1-propanol electrolyte solutions is investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The double-layer capacitances of mixture solvents are almost the same as those of water-only electrolyte solutions, and the double-layer capacitances of 1-propanol-only solutions are significantly smaller than those of other volume fractions of water. The qualitative variation of the double-layer capacitances with the water volume fraction is independent of the electrolyte types and their concentrations. Therefore, these results can be explained by ubiquitous preferential water adsorption caused by the hydrophilicity of the electrode surface.
