Comment on "The surface potential of a spherical colloid particle: functional theoretical approach".
In a work published in this journal by Z.W. Wang, G.Z. Li, D.R. Guan, X.Z. Yi, and A.J. Lou [J. Colloid Interface Sci. 246 (2002) 302], an iterative method for the determination of the potential around a colloidal particle is presented. It is claimed that successive terms of the iteration series converge to the exact solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. This claim seems to be unfounded when the analytical expressions of the iteration terms are compared with well established numerical data.
