A self‐consistent model capable of describing the interaction of a metal electrode/liquid electrolyte interface is presented. As in a real system, a capacity maximum shifted towards positive charges is obtained from the model. The metal is represented by the planar uniform background model (jellium). The solvent is described by a polar liquid whose response to charge is accounted for in terms of the local approximation. The interaction between the metal and ions is modelled by a charged plane placed near the metal surface. Charge neutrality of the whole system is preserved. The present model is a good approximation for highly concentrated solutions.
