Despite widespread interest, a detailed understanding of the dynamics of proton transfer at interfaces is lacking. Here we use ab initio molecular dynamics to unravel the connection between interfacial water structure and proton transfer…
Understanding the dynamic nature of the semiconductor-water interface is crucial for developing efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting catalysts, as it governs reactivity through charge and mass transport. In this study, we employ…
The behavior of liquid water under an electric field is a crucial phenomenon in science and engineering. However, its detailed description at a microscopic level is difficult to achieve experimentally. Here we report on the first ab initio…
We use ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to quantify structural and thermodynamic properties of a model proton transfer reaction that converts a neutral glycine molecule, stable in the gas phase, to the zwitterion that predominates…
Aqueous radiation chemistry emerges through ultrafast proton transfer and ion-radical formation with unexplored energy-redistribution dynamics steering the subsequent reactions. We performed time-resolved disruptive probing on pure water…
The ionization potential distributions of hydrated hydroxide and hydronium are computed with many-body approach for electron excitations with configurations generated by {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics. The experimental features are well…
Heterostructures of 2D materials offer a fertile ground to study ion transport and charge storage. Here we employ ab initio molecular dynamics to examine the proton-transfer/diffusion and redox behavior in a water layer confined in the…
We use {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics simulations to study a sample of liquid silica containing 3.84 wt.% H$_2$O.We find that, for temperatures of 3000 K and 3500 K,water is almost exclusively dissolved as hydroxyl groups, the silica…
The transfer of a hydrated proton between water molecules in aqueous solution is accompanied by the large-scale structural reorganization of the environment as the proton relocates, giving rise to the Grotthus mechanism. The Zundel (H5O2+)…
The solvation of Al and its hydrolyzed species in water clusters has been studied by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The hexa-hydrate aluminum ion formed a stable complex in the finite temperature cluster simulation of…
Water's ability to autoionize into hydroxide and hydronium ions profoundly influences surface properties, rendering interfaces either basic or acidic. While it is well-established that protons show an affinity to the air-water interface, a…
The results of molecular dynamics simulations of the properties of water in an aqueous ionic solution close to an interface with a model metallic electrode are described. In the simulations the electrode behaves as an ideally polarizable…
A discrete multistate kinetic model for water-wire proton transport is constructed and analyzed using Monte-Carlo simulations. The model allows for each water molecule to be in one of three states: oxygen lone pairs pointing leftward,…
Aqueous solid-liquid interfaces (SLI) are ubiquitous in nature and technology, often hosting molecular-level processes with macroscopic consequences. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations offer a tool of choice to investigate interfacial…
Hydroxide ion transport in anion-exchange membranes fundamentally limits the efficiency of alkaline water electrolysis for green hydrogen production, yet the atomic-scale transport mechanisms remain poorly understood due to the…
The solvation structure of protons in aqueous media is highly relevant to electric properties and to proton transport in liquids and membranes. At ambient temperature, polar liquids display structural fluctuations on femto- to picosecond…
Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy experiments have presented new results regarding the dynamics of the hydrated excess proton (aka <q>hydronium</q> cation solvated in water). It has been suggested by these experiments that the hydrated…
Proton ordering in water ice is a paradigmatic order-disorder transition in a locally constrained system. The ice rules require exactly two hydrogens close to each oxygen, restricting the disorder to an exponentially large yet strongly…
We describe the atomic-level motions in caesium hydroxide monohydrate (CsOH$\cdot$H$_2$O), which is a chemical compound containing layers of water and hydroxide ions. At this composition, each oxygen is involved in three hydrogen bonds…
The mobility of water molecules confined in a silica pore is studied by computer simulation in the low hydration regime, where most of the molecules reside close to the hydrophilic substrate. A layer analysis of the single particle dynamics…
