要旨

The hydration shell (HS) has a critical impact on every contact between hydrated species, which is a prerequisite for a great many physical and chemical processes, such as ion adsorption at the solution–solid interface. This paper reveals the extent and manner to which the HS interferes with ion adsorption utilizing molecular dynamics. The single-layer HS is the smallest unit that maintains the ionic hydration structure and the force on it. The energy penalty incurred by partial dehydration upon adsorption is one of the approaches through which HS influences ion adsorption, yet the collision of water molecules in HS may be the critical one. The repulsive force during dehydration is, to great extent, neutralized by HS collision. The index for estimating the extent of the influence of the HS is not the hydration energy, but the quantification of the contest between HS’ collision and the binding of adsorption sites. The hydration energy is larger for charged functional groups, but the HS’ impact is much smaller, as compared with electroneutral group cases. As a result, the order of the adsorption capacity for different ionic species may be quite different between charged and electroneutral cases.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
