He has played a major role in the development and implementation of the Corrected Debye-Hückel (CDH) theory of salt solutions and surface complexation. The CDH theory is based on the GvdW density functional theory and permits ion size effects to be semianalytically estimated. He has applied this theory extensively to model activity and osmotic coefficients of simple and mixed electrolytes exploring the generally good accuracy in comparisons with experimental and Monte Carlo simulation data. Recently he has further developed the theory to predict the surface charging of nanoparticles. He has demonstrated that the CDH theory is capable of very accurately resolving the observed size dependency of the particle charge in the case of surfaces composed of SiO2, TiO2 or iron oxides.view less
