Free H+ ions in the water are attracted by the negatively-charged surface and accumulate near it. As a result, although the interiors of both the glass and the liquid remain electrically neutral, an electrical potential gradient arises in the vicinity of the interface." Then, why not SiOH + CO3 - - <-----> SiCO3 - + OH - or such? It seems to me that a water solution containing CO2 in glass or quartz, free Si++ or other silicon cation species could exist and "plate out as crud" on the Pd or Ni Cathodes.
