The value of the
electric potential of an electrode at which one of the charges defined is zero. The
reference electrode against which this is measured should always be clearly stated. The potential difference
with respect to the potential of zero charge is defined by
where the potential at the point of zero charge is that for the given electrode in
the absence of
specific adsorption (other than that of the solvent).
