金属界面水分子的偏压局域结构

Bias-dependent local structure of water molecule at a metallic interface

Luana S. Pedroza, Pedro Brandimarte, Alexandre Reily Rocha, Marivi Fernández-Serra

摘要:

了解水在金属电极界面上的局部结构是水基电化学中的一个关键问题。然而,这种设置的真实模拟是具有挑战性的,特别是当电极保持在不同的电位时。为了正确计算施加到真正的半无限表面的外部偏置电位的影响,我们结合密度泛函理论(DFT)和非平衡格林函数(NEGF)方法。该框架允许力和动力学的非平衡计算,并且直接与电极的化学势相关,这是实验引入的化学势。在这项工作中,我们应用这种方法来研究一个水分子在金表面的界面上的电子性质和原子力。我们发现,水分子倾向于调整其偶极矩与电场,它是排斥或吸引的金属取决于所施加的偏压的符号和大小,在一个不对称的方式。

英文摘要:

Understanding the local structure of water at the interfaces of metallic electrodes is a key problem in aqueous-based electrochemistry. Nevertheless, a realistic simulation of such setup is challenging, particularly when the electrodes are maintained at different potentials. To correctly compute the effect of an external bias potential applied to truly semi-infinite surfaces, we combine Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions (NEGF) methods. This framework allows for the out-of-equilibrium calculation of forces and dynamics, and directly correlates to the chemical potential of the electrodes, which is the one introduced experimentally. In this work, we apply this methodology to study the electronic properties and atomic forces of one water molecule at the interface of gold surface. We find that the water molecule tends to align its dipole moment with the electric field, and it is either repelled or attracted to the metal depending on the sign and magnitude of the applied bias, in an asymmetric fashion.
