title: Ion-conserving Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
abstract: It is well known that the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory and the classical Gouy-Chapman theory are inconsistent at a high applied voltage. For solving this problem, we propose an ion-conserving Poisson-Boltzmann theory, which shows remarkable agreement with the numerical PNP solutions, even at a high applied voltage. In other words, we have found the exact analytical solutions for steady PNP equations; we believe that this finding greatly contributes to understanding surface science between solids and liquids.
