“…32 Such simulations allowed, in particular, studying the effect of the polarization of the metal on the interfacial structure, dynamics and capacitance, the adsorption of ions and biomolecules, or solid-liquid friction for a variety of electrodes such as gold, platinum, or graphite and liquids from pure water and solutions of simple salts to water-in-salt electrolytes, polyelectrolytes, and biomolecules in solution and ionic liquids. 28,[33][34][35][36][37][38] They also emphasized the combined role of the atomic structure of the metal and molecular nature of water in the overall hydrophilic/phobic behavior of the interface. 39,40 From a more fundamental point of view, the fluctuations of the charge of the electrode in constant-potential simulations reflect the statistics of the microscopic configurations in the corresponding thermodynamic ensemble.…”
