Acidity of a Reactive Interface from Atomic-Scale Simulation

Published:

Scientific Achievement: Atomic-scale simulations and experiments revealed the acidity of MgO surface sites and suggested their hydroxylation as the mechanism for Mg(OH)2 conversion.

Significance and Impact: Results provide new understanding of reaction pathways in MgO to Mg(OH)2 conversion, a reaction that underpins multiple energy applications.
