Polarizable ions at interfaces.

چکیده
A nonperturbative theory is presented which allows us to calculate the solvation free energy of polarizable ions near water-vapor and water-oil interfaces. The theory predicts that larger halogen anions are adsorbed at the interface, while the alkali metal cations are repelled from it. The density profiles calculated theoretically are similar to those obtained using molecular dynamics simulations with polarizable force fields.

Ions at Aqueous Interfaces
Studies of aqueous interfaces and of the behavior of ions therein have been profiting from a recent remarkable progress in surface selective spectroscopies, as well as from developments in molecular simulations. Here, we summarize and place in context our investigations of ions at aqueous interfaces employing molecular dynamics simulations and electronic structure methods, performed in close co...
متن کاملPolarizable Force Fields for CO2 and CH4 Adsorption in M-MOF-74
The family of M-MOF-74, with M = Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Ti, V, and Zn, provides opportunities for numerous energy related gas separation applications. The pore structure of M-MOF-74 exhibits a high internal surface area and an exceptionally large adsorption capacity. The chemical environment of the adsorbate molecule in M-MOF-74 can be tuned by exchanging the metal ion incorporated in the ...
متن کاملIons at aqueous interfaces: from water surface to hydrated proteins.
The surfaces of aqueous solutions are traditionally viewed as devoid of inorganic ions. Molecular simulations and surface-selective spectroscopic techniques show, however, that large polarizable anions and hydronium cations can be found (and even enhanced) at the surface and are involved in chemistry at the air/water interface. Here, we review recent studies of ions at the air/water interface a...
متن کاملSegregation of inorganic ions at surfaces of polar nonaqueous liquids.
We present a short review of recent computational and experimental studies on surfaces of solutions of inorganic salts in polar nonaqueous solvents. These investigations complement our knowledge of aqueous interfaces and show that liquids such as formamide, liquid ammonia, and ethylene glycol can also surface-segregate large polarizable anions like iodide, albeit less efficiently than water. Fo...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic force microscopy of aqueous interfaces.
A novel scanning probe microscopy technique has allowed dielectrophoretic force imaging with nanoscale spatial resolution. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) traditionally describes the mobility of polarizable particles in inhomogeneous alternating current (ac) electric fields. Integrating DEP with atomic force microscopy allows for noncontact imaging with the image contrast related to the local electric ...
