Understanding water dynamics at charged interfaces is of great importance in various fields, such as catalysis, biomedical processes, and solar cell materials. In this study, we implemented molecular dynamics simulations of a system of pure water interfaced with Au electrodes, on one side of which 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (4-MBN) molecules are adsorbed. We calculated time correlation functions of various dynamic quantities, such as the hydrogen bond status of the N atom of the adsorbed 4-MBN molecules, the rotational motion of the water OH bond, hydrogen bonds between 4-MBN and water, and hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the interface region. Using the Luzar–Chandler model, we analyzed the hydrogen bond dynamics between a 4-MBN and a water molecule. The dynamic quantities we calculated can be divided into two categories: those related to the collective behavior of interfacial water molecules and the H-bond interaction between a water molecule and the CN group of 4-MBN. We found that these two categories of dynamic quantities exhibit opposite trends in response to applied potentials on the Au electrode. We anticipate that the present work will help improve our understanding of the interfacial dynamics of water in various electrolyte systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
