Abstract:
In this work, the interaction between anatase TiO2(001) surface and KOH solution is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Most of K+ ions are shown to adsord at two bidentate sites, between two bridging oxygens in adjacent rows on the crystal surface. In addition, the coordination number and diffusion coefficient of K+ are decreased due to its adsorption on TiO2, resulting in an ordered structure in the interface. Based on the number density of K+, O2-and H+, the interfacial electrostatic properties are analyzed. In order to obtain the effect of KOH on the interface, the electrostatic properties of H2O in solution are considered and compared with pure water system. The peaks of the charge density and the electric field distribution curves of KOH solution increase and the convergence of its potential becomes slow. The reason is that potassium ions are concentrated on the interface while hydroxyl ions are randomly distributed in the whole system, which lead to relative excess of anions in the bulk. © 2019, Science Press.
