Abstract
The interaction of water with extended defects such as mono- and diatomic steps at the MgO(100) surface is investigated through first-principles simulations, as a function of water coverage. At variance with flat MgO(100) terraces, water adsorption is always dissociative on mono- and diatomic steps, as well as on MgO(110) surfaces. In most of the equilibrium configurations, the oxygen of the hydroxyl groups is two- or fourfold coordinated, but single-coordinated OH groups can be stabilized at diatomic step edges. The structural properties of the hydroxyl groups are discussed as a function of their coordination numbers and mutual interactions, as well as the surface defect morphology. It is shown that characteristics of water adsorption are primarily driven by the coordination number of the surface acid-base pair where the dissociation occurs. However, the OH groups resulting from water dissociation are also considerably stabilized by the electrostatic interaction with coadsorbed protons. At low coverage such an interaction, considerably stronger than hydrogen bonding, practically hinders any proton diffusion away from its neighboring hydroxyl. The computed adsorption energies allow us to discuss the onset of water desorption from flat MgO(100) terraces, diatomic and monoatomic steps, and from Mg–O divacancy.
