Universal scaling of electrochemical information transfer at solid-liquid interfaces
Abstract
Electrochemical potentials at solid-liquid interfaces govern diverse chemical and energy conversion processes; however, the extent to which their electrochemical influence extends into the solid remains unclear. Here, we show that the maximum accessible electrochemical information is governed by a single dimensionless screening parameter u, defined as the ratio of the effective electrostatic separation between the interface and probe to the electrostatic propagation length in the solid. The maximum Fisher information follows a universal inverse-square scaling with this parameter. This relation identifies electrostatic screening as a fundamental constraint on information transfer across solid-liquid interfaces and provides quantitative design principles for interfacial electrochemical sensing.
