Zeta potential is a measure of the electrical potential difference at the slipping plane of a colloidal particle, and it directly relates to the stability of these particles in water. Colloidal particles are very small particles that remain suspended in water due to their surface charge, which is typically negative. This surface charge attracts a layer of oppositely charged ions from the surrounding water, forming an electrical double layer. The zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the ....
