Cover Picture: Electrochemical Adsorption of OH on Pt(111) in Alkaline Solutions: Combining DFT and Molecular Dynamics (ChemPhysChem 10/2014)

Abstract

The picture shows a snapshot from a molecular dynamics simulation, presented on by W. Schmickler et al. for OH adsorbed on Pt(111) from an aqueous solution. The OH can be seen on the left with a red oxygen and a green hydrogen atom. Superimposed is a free energy surface for the reaction showing the adsorbed OH on the left, a chemisorbed OH− in the center, and a solvated OH− at the right.
