The interactions of carboxylic acids and water with TiO 2 surfaces are important in applications ranging from solar cells to biomedical devices. Here we focus on the aqueous interface with the minority (001) surface of anatase TiO 2 (A-001) and the behavior of adsorbed formic and acetic acid monolayers at this interface. We investigated the structure and stability of the pristine reconstructed and formic/acetic acid covered A-001 surfaces in contact with water using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The (1 × 4) reconstruction of the pristine surface is found to be stable in aqueous environment, within the time scale of our simulation. Carboxylic acids adsorb in deprotonated bidentate (BD) form on A-001, with the dissociated proton transferred to a surface oxygen to form a bridging hydroxyl. Of the two possible configurations, BD bridging and BD straddling, of the adsorbed species, the latter is found to rapidly transform to a monodentate structure during our simulations. Further investigation of mixed acetate−formate monolayers on A-001 in water indicates that also BD bridging species can become unstable at the boundaries between formate and acetate-covered regions, transforming to a monodentate form that does not prevent water adsorption on the TiO 2 surface.
