Theory of Metallic Work Functions Between Metals and Layers of Exclusion   Zone Ordered Water
  The magnitude of the work function to bring an electron from a metal into the exclusion zone water layer making hydrophilic contact with the metallic interface is theoretically computed. The agreement with recent experimental measurements is satisfactory.
