  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003648",
  "term": "Electrified interphase",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The region between two conducting phases, such as an electrode and an electrolyte, where a separation of charge exists. This region is not electrically neutral and contains an electrical double layer, resulting in a potential difference across the interface. The structure and properties of this interphase govern the kinetics of electrochemical reactions occurring at the boundary between the two phases.",
