Abstract
Interfacial water on a metal surface acts as an active layer through the reorientation of water, thereby facilitating the energy transfer and chemical reaction across the metal surface in various physicochemical and industrial processes. However, how this active interfacial water collectively behaves on flat noble metal substrates remains largely unknown due to the experimental limitation in capturing librational vibrational motion of interfacial water and prohibitive computational costs at the first-principles level. Herein, by implementing a machine-learning approach to train neural network potentials, we enable performing advanced molecular dynamics simulations with ab initio accuracy at a nanosecond scale to map the distinct rotational motion of water molecules on a metal surface at room temperature. The vibrational density of states of the interfacial water with two-layer profiles reveals that the rotation and vibration of water within the strong adsorption layer on the metal surface behave as if the water molecules in the bulk ice, wherein the O-H stretching frequency is well consistent with the experimental results. Unexpectedly, the water molecules within the adjacent weak adsorption layer exhibit superdiffusive rotation, contrary to the conventional diffusive rotation of bulk water, while the vibrational motion maintains the characteristic of bulk water. The mechanism underlying this abnormal superdiffusive rotation is attributed to the translation-rotation decoupling of water, in which the translation is restrained by the strong hydrogen bonding within the bilayer interfacial water, whereas the rotation is accelerated freely by the asymmetric water environment. This superdiffusive rotation dynamics may elucidate the experimentally observed large fluctuation of the potential of zero charge on Pt and thereby the conventional Helmholtz layer model revised by including the contribution of interfacial water orientation. The surprising superdiffusive rotation of vicinal water next to noble metals will shed new light on the physicochemical processes and the activity of water molecules near metal electrodes or catalysts.

Abstract
Structures and processes at water/metal interfaces play an important technological role in electrochemical energy conversion and storage, photoconversion, sensors, and corrosion, just to name a few. However, they are also of fundamental significance as a model system for the study of solid-liquid interfaces, which requires combining concepts from the chemistry and physics of crystalline materials and liquids. Particularly interesting is the fact that the water-water and water-metal interactions are of similar strength so that the structures at water/metal interfaces result from a competition between these comparable interactions. Because water is a polar molecule and water and metal surfaces are both polarizable, explicit consideration of the electronic degrees of freedom at water/metal interfaces is mandatory. In principle, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are thus the method of choice to model water/metal interfaces, but they are computationally still rather demanding. Here, ab initio simulations of water/metal interfaces will be reviewed, starting from static systems such as the adsorption of single water molecules, water clusters, and icelike layers, followed by the properties of liquid water layers at metal surfaces. Technical issues such as the appropriate first-principles description of the water-water and water-metal interactions will be discussed, and electrochemical aspects will be addressed. Finally, more approximate but numerically less demanding approaches to treat water at metal surfaces from first-principles will be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Different platinum (Pt) surfaces of nanocrystals usually exhibit significant distinctions with regard to various biological, physical, and chemical characteristics, such as bio-recognition, surface wetting, and catalytic activities. In this study, we report for the first time that two shape-controlled Pt nanocrystals with the most common low-index surfaces, Pt(100) and Pt(111), show very dissimilar protein denaturation capabilities based on all-atom molecular dynamics simulations employing the widely used model protein, villin headpiece (HP35). We demonstrate that HP35 is well preserved on the Pt(100) crystal surface, whereas it is severely disrupted on the Pt(111) crystal surface. This surprising difference originates from the distinct water behavior in the first solvation shell (FSS) of the two Pt crystal surfaces. Within the FSS of the Pt(100) crystal surface, water molecules form a very compact and stable monolayer through a highly uniform rhombic hydrogen-bond network. This water monolayer prefers the adsorption of acidic residues (such as Glu and Asp) and acts as a shield to prevent other residues from directly coming into contact with the metal surface. On the other hand, the hydrogen bond network in the water monolayer in the FSS of the Pt(111) crystal surface is very sparse and quite defective, which makes it more vulnerable to the penetration of various residues, particularly those with planar side chains such as Phe, Trp and Arg due to strong dispersion interactions, leading to subsequent protein unfolding. The binding free energy calculations for some key amino acids on the two different crystal surfaces further uncover the molecular origin behind their distinct protein denaturation capability. Our study reveals the vital importance of interfacial water in determining the structure of proteins when binding to different metal crystal surfaces. The discovered molecular mechanisms may be helpful for the future development of a bio-assisted programmable synthetic strategy of sophisticated Pt nanostructures for biomedical applications.
