This project was finished with a set of publications, and a successful Ph.D. thesis defence.

The knowledge of the structure and properties of liquid water itself and at the interface with a metal surface is of a great importance for understanding the heterogeneous and electrochemical reactions. We are modelling the influence of the metal surface over the dynamics of the liquid phase using Density Functional Theory methods. The calculations are performed using Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package (VASP) with GGA Perdew-Wang 91 exchange-correlation functional and plane wave basis set. The work also includes simulations of liquid water as well as dense water overlayers on metal surfaces. This project is a part of an investigation of the ammonia oxidation to nitrogen in gas and liquid phase.
