Abstract: | Charging of the surface of an oxide caused by the adsorption of hydrogen ions and ions of inert 1:1 electrolyte was investigated by using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique. In particular, adsorption isotherms of protons as well as of ions of the electrolyte together with the resulting charge density of the surface were obtained for different system parameters. Also, the effect of the surface energetic heterogeneity and the concentration of the background electrolyte on the isotherms and the charge density curves was examined. Furthermore, lateral interactions in the mixed adsorbed phase were taken into account in the modeling of the system behavior. The obtained results, in general, suggest that the three factors mentioned above may have substantial influence on the charging mechanism at the liquid/oxide interface. |
