By means of ab initio simulations we unveil the high reactivity of boron nitride–graphene planar heterostructure immersed in liquid water: an interfacial water molecule is found to spontaneously chemisorb and deprotonate at one composite border.

We have used ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to characterize water properties using two meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) functionals, M06-L-D3 and B97M-rV, and compared their performance against a standard GGA corrected for dispersion, revPBE-D3, at ambient conditions (298 K, and 1 g cm−3 or 1 atm).

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of salty water under an electric field reveal two regimes of the relative mobilities of chlorine and sodium ions. When water dissociation and proton transfer are actived at strong field intensities, the presence of the ions hinders the efficiency of the proton transfer mechanism.

The anisotropic structure and dynamics of the hydration shell of a benzene solute in liquid water have been investigated by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using the BLYP (Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr) and dispersion corrected BLYP-D functionals.
