Properties of aqueous electrolyte solutions at carbon electrodes: effects of concentration and surface charge on solution structure, ion clustering and thermodynamics in the electric double layer

Aaron R. Finney, Matteo Salvalaglio

Surfaces are able to control physical-chemical processes in multi-component solution systems and, as such, find application in a wide range of technological devices. Understanding…

Constant Chemical Potential-Quantum Mechanical-Molecular Dynamics simulations of the Graphene-electrolyte double layer

Nicodemo Di Pasquale, Aaron R. Finney, Joshua Elliott +2

We present the coupling of two frameworks -- the pseudo-open boundary simulation method known as constant potential Molecular Dynamics simulations (CMD), combined with QMMD calc…

A Variational Approach to Assess Reaction Coordinates for Two-Step Crystallisation

Aaron R. Finney, Matteo Salvalaglio

Molecule- and particle-based simulations provide the tools to test, in microscopic detail, the validity of classical nucleation theory. In this endeavour, determining nucleation me…

Multiple Pathways in NaCl Homogeneous Crystal Nucleation

Aaron R. Finney, Matteo Salvalaglio

NaCl crystal nucleation from metastable solutions has long been considered to occur according to a single-step mechanism. Recent experimental observations suggest that NaCl crystal…

Bridging the gap between mesoscopic and molecular models of solid/liquid interfaces out-of-equilibrium

Aaron R Finney, Matteo Salvalaglio

Solid/liquid interfaces control various processes of technological relevance in the process industry and many fundamental physicochemical phenomena. This work examines the link bet…

Electrochemistry, Ion Adsorption and Dynamics in the Double Layer: A Study of NaCl(aq) on Graphite

Aaron R. Finney, Ian J. McPherson, Patrick R. Unwin +1

Graphite is a ubiquitous electrode material with particular promise for use in e.g., energy storage and desalination devices, but very little is known about the properties of the g…
