Results in Current Paper
Here, the authors present the results of a density functional theory (DFT) study
of H2O monomer adsorption on a variety of metal substrates. The total energy
calculations within the DFT framework were performed with the CASTEP code
[1]. Ultrasoft pseudopotentials were expanded within a plane wave basis set
with a cutoff energy of 340 eV. Exchange and correlation effects were described
by the Perdew - Wang generalized gradient approximation (GGA). [2] A p(2 x 2)
unit cell was employed and a single water molecule was placed on one side of
the slab. Monkhorst - Pack meshes within the surface brillouin zone was used.
Water mixes with the surface mainly through its occupied 1b1MO.
Where is the most favorable binding
sites: atop, bridge, or threefold site?
What is the orientation of adsorption
water ----- tilt angle of H-O-H plane?
From this extensive set of DFT calculations for various metal surfaces,
they find:
On every surface, the favored adsorption site for water is the atop site.
At this site, H2O lies nearly parallel to the surface: The tilt angle between
the molecular dipole plane and the surface is, on the average 10 Deg, with
a minimum value of 6 Deg on Ru, and a maximum value of 15 Deg on Cu.

stable site
Water molecule doesn’t sit on the atop site up-right, the molecular dipole plane
has a very large tilt angle from the surface normal!
How about the azimuthal angle? ----- There tends not to be a clear azimuthal
preference for water, with different orientation within ~ 0.02eV of each other.
So H2O monomer will be randomly distributed about surface normal.

Partial density of states (PDOS) projected onto the p orbitals of O
Upright H2O favor interaction with the 3a1 orbital, Flat H2O favor interaction
with the 1b1 orbital, Initially, the 1b1 is closer to the Fermi level, so orientations
that maximize this interaction will be preferred ----- Flat!
Image dipole moment favor upright orientation
Besides the covalent interaction, the interaction between
the water permanent dipole and its image beneath the
surface also has to be considered.
Using Mulliken analysis, it shows that the perpendicular
configuration is favored over the parallel configuration by
0.05 eV and 0.02 eV on Pt and Ag, respectively.
Although it is a competing interaction with the covalent
interaction, it is small, so it is not decisive.
