Resumen:
The adsorption of OH on Pt(111) in alkaline solution has beeninvestigated by a method that combines density functionaltheory, molecular dynamics, and quantum statistical mechanics.In particular, we have calculated the free energy surface forthe reaction. A physisorbed hydroxide ion in a metastablestate and a stable adsorbed uncharged OH group are observed.The energy of activation at equilibrium is comparativelylow, so that the reaction is fast.
