摘要:

金纳米粒子(NPs)在应用中的性能关键取决于NPs-溶剂界面的结构,在该界面处,静电表面极化是影响水合、离子吸附和电化学反应的关键特征之一。在这里,我们展示了显式金属极化率对裸金纳米粒子在各种阴离子钠盐的电解质水溶液中的溶剂化和静电性质的显着影响(Cl $^-$、BF $_4$ $^-$、PF $_6$ $^-$、Nip $^-$(硝基酚盐)和3-和4-价六氰基铁酸盐(HCF)),使用经典的分子动力学模拟与金原子的可极化核壳模型。我们发现相当大的空间异质性的极化和静电电位的NP表面上,介导的界面水分子的高度小面依赖的结构。此外,离子特定的,面依赖的离子吸附导致大的改变的界面极化。与不可极化的NP相比,极化性仅轻微地改变水的局部偶极子密度,但对静电表面电势具有实质性影响,并导致NP表面上的离子的显著横向再分布。此外,对单个一价离子的界面极化效应在远场被抵消,有效的德拜-休克尔表面势基本上不受影响,正如连续统“像电荷”概念所预期的那样。因此,金属NP的明确电荷响应对于界面静电的准确描述和解释是至关重要的(例如,用于催化和电化学中的电荷转移和界面极化)。

英文摘要:

The performance of gold nanoparticles (NPs) in applications depends critically on the structure of the NP-solvent interface, at which the electrostatic surface polarization is one of the key characteristics that affects hydration, ionic adsorption, and electrochemical reactions. Here, we demonstrate significant effects of explicit metal polarizability on the solvation and electrostatic properties of bare gold NPs in aqueous electrolyte solutions of sodium salts of various anions (Cl$^-$, BF$_4$$^-$, PF$_6$$^-$, Nip$^-$(nitrophenolate), and 3- and 4-valent hexacyanoferrate (HCF)), using classical molecular dynamics simulations with a polarizable core-shell model of the gold atoms. We find considerable spatial heterogeneity of the polarization and electrostatic potentials on the NP surface, mediated by a highly facet-dependent structuring of the interfacial water molecules. Moreover, ion-specific, facet-dependent ion adsorption leads to large alterations of the interfacial polarization. Compared to non-polarizable NPs, polarizability modifies water local dipole densities only slightly, but has substantial effects on the electrostatic surface potentials, and leads to significant lateral redistributions of ions on the NP surface. Besides, interfacial polarization effects on the individual monovalent ions cancel out in the far field, and effective Debye-Hückel surface potentials remain essentially unaffected, as anticipated from continuum `image-charge' concepts. Hence, the explicit charge response of metal NPs is crucial for the accurate description and interpretation of interfacial electrostatics (as, e.g., for charge transfer and interface polarization in catalysis and electrochemistry).
