Research Abstract |
Structure and dynamics of aqueous electrolyte solution at the solid-liquid interface was investigated based on various molecular simulation methods. Microscopic understanding on typical space and time scale of interfacial systems, behavior of ionic species in a hydrogen-bond network and the origin of electric double layer structure were given. Hydrogen evolution processes at an “acid solution / Pt electrode" interface were quantitatively evaluated taking account of the effect of electrode potential. Theoretical frameworks to treat the electron transfer process across the interface induced by photo excitation or applied electric field were developed.
