How multivalency controls ionic criticality

Résumé

To understand how multivalency affects criticality in z:1 ionic fluids, we report an ion-cluster association theory embodying ionic solvation and excluded volume for equisized hard-sphere models with z = 1-3. In accord with simulation but contradicting integral equation and field theories, the reduced critical temperature falls when z increases while the density rho(c) rises steeply. These trends can be explained semiquantitatively by noting that 80%-90% of the ions near T-c are bound in neutral or charged clusters, depleting the ionic strength. For z not equal 1, predicted interphase Galvani potentials vanish at T-c.
