According to a study from Bombay, India, "The structure of spherical electric double layers is Studied using Monte Carlo simulation and density functional theory by considering solvent as the third component. In this molecular solvent model (MSM), ions and solvent molecules are considered as charged and neutral hard spheres, respectively, having equal diameter."
"The macroion is considered as an isolated hard sphere having uniform Surface charge density Surrounded by the electrolyte and the solvent. The theory is partially perturbative as the hard-sphere contribution to the one particle correlation function is evaluated using Suitably averaged weighted density, ...
