Abstract: Based on molecular dynamics simulations of eight ions (Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) on muscovite mica surfaces, we demonstrate that experimental data on the muscovite mica surface can be rationalized through a unified picture of adsorption structures including the hydration structure, cation heights from the muscovite surface, and state stability. These simulations enable us to categorize the inner-sphere surface complex into two different species: an inner-sphere surface complex in a ditrigonal cavity (IS1) and that on top of Al (IS2). By considering the presence of the two inner-sphere surface complexes, the experimental finding that the heights of adsorbed cations from the muscovite surface are proportional to the ionic radius for K+ and Cs+ but inversely proportional to the ionic radius for Ca2+ and Ba2+ was explained. We find that Na+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ can form both IS1 and IS2; K+, Rb+, and Cs+ can form only IS1; and Mg2+ can form only IS2. It is suggested that the formation of IS1 and IS2 is governed by the charge density of the ions. Among the eight ions, we also find that the hydration structure for the outer-sphere surface complexes of divalent cations differs from that of the monovalent cations by one adsorbed water molecule (i.e., a water molecule located in a ditrigonal cavity).

Introduction The interaction between charged surfaces mediated by aqueous solutions is fundamental to understanding various natural and industrial processes. For example, this interaction governs the transport of elements,1-6 stability of colloidal dispersions,7-11 and wettability at solid surfaces.12-16 The difference in the interaction depending on ionic species in aqueous solutions leads to ionspecific results for these processes. Therefore, attaining a better understanding of the ion-specific interaction at a charged surface is critical.17-18 This interaction must be understood at the molecular rather than the mean-field level because mean-field theories such as the classical Gouy–Chapman theory and DLVO theory have limitations in describing certain phenomena concerning the Stern layer (e.g., charge reversal,4,19,20 adsorbed ion-ion correlations,21 and hydration forces8-11). Muscovite mica is a representative clay mineral that provides an atomically smooth cleavage (001) surface. Substitution of Si4+ with Al3+ yields a negative charge at the muscovite surface, which is initially compensated by adsorbed K+. Many experimental studies, for example, X-ray reflectivity,2-6,22-29 atomic force microscopy (AFM),11,21,30-34 and surface force apparatus studies,7-10,35 have been performed on muscovite surfaces in aqueous solutions. X-ray reflectivity studies have demonstrated that cations at the muscovite surface can coexist both as inner-sphere surface complexes (IS) and outer-sphere surface complexes (OS) with a cation-dependent distribution.4,5,22-25 The two adsorbed species are identified by the height of cations from the surface and a deduced hydrated state of the ion on surfaces. No water molecule is interposed between the surface and cation for IS, whereas at least one water molecule is interposed for OS.1 Although the distribution normal to the surfaces obtained by X-ray reflectivity is useful to identify the adsorbed species (IS or OS), the lateral positions of cations at the muscovite surface

is also important. Figure 1a presents an atomic-scale image of the muscovite surface, where substituted Al is represented by blue spheres. AFM experiments have indicated the presence of two possible sites for cations:21,34 the cavity site (i.e., the location of pink sphere in Figure 1a) and on the Al site (on top of the blue sphere in Figure 1a). Ricci et al. detected K+ and Rb+ in the cavity site.21 Li+, Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ have been detected on the Al site by Loh et al.34 Although X-ray reflectivity and AFM have provided substantial information normal and tangential to the muscovite surface, respectively, a unified picture of the cation distribution and hydration structures in the Stern layer of the muscovite surface has not yet been attained. For example, an X-ray reflectivity study demonstrated that the height of adsorbed monovalent cations (K+ and Cs+) at the muscovite surface is proportional to the ionic radius, whereas the height of adsorbed divalent cations (Ca2+ and Ba2+) at the muscovite surface is inversely proportional to the ionic radius.26 It is critical to understand the underlying mechanism for this observation and determine how to unify the AFM and X-ray reflectivity results, that is, the hydration states suggested in the X-ray reflectivity experiments must be determined for the two possible adsorption sites reported in the AFM experiments. Molecular simulations are useful to visualize the atomic structure near surfaces. Indeed, the atomic structure at the muscovite surface and its effects on experimental observations have been intensively reported.6,28,29,36-41 Sakuma et al. demonstrated that the hydration structures at the muscovite surface covered by different monovalent cations obtained by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and X-ray reflectivity are consistent with each other.6 However, the structures of ions in the Stern layer at the muscovite surface have seldom been discussed, presumably because a long computing time and large surface area are needed to equilibrate the ionic structures for molecular simulations. Rare-event simulations38-41 have been implemented to

overcome the shortcomings of MD simulations; however, these studies are limited to discussions of individual ions. Here, we utilize MD simulations and calculations of the potential of mean force (PMF) to study the Stern layer structures of monovalent cations (Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) and divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) at muscovite/solution interfaces. The key finding of our study is the provision of a unified picture of the cation adsorption structure by categorizing the inner-sphere surface complex into two different species.

Computational Methods Images of the simulation systems are presented in Figure 1. The atomic coordinates of muscovite were determined by Richardson using X-ray diffraction.42 The chemical formula of muscovite is K+[Al2(Si3Al)O10(OH)2]-. Substitution of Si4+ with Al3+ was regularly performed (Figures 1a and

1b) and octahedral substitution was not performed according to the chemical formula. Cations have been reported to be distributed in an ordered manner at the muscovite surface.21 We applied the rule that cations are initially located at Si4Al2 cavity sites in our model, and the number of cations required to obtain a neutral surface charge was determined (Figures 1a and 1b). The substitution could be implemented randomly rather than regularly. The random substitution would give other stable sites for cations (e.g., Si3Al3) and more heterogeneous charge distribution. However, for comparison among eight cations, the well-ordered system is beneficial. Eight interfacial systems (Figure 1c) were constructed by combining a cation-covered surface, as observed in Figure 1a or 1b with pure water. We used periodic boundary condition for the simulation system. The muscovite slab was 3.1 × 2.7 × 2.0 nm. The pure water phase contained 1,400 water molecules. At ambient conditions, this resulted in ~5 nm aqueous phase normal to the interface, which gives a separation distance long enough for PMFs to be constant. Umbrella sampling simulations43,44 were implemented with this system to obtain PMFs of the cations at the muscovite surface. First, we selected a representative cation from the adsorbed cations at the muscovite surface and pulled it to the aqueous bulk by imposing a harmonic potential (kh = 4000 kJ/mol nm2) on the cation and moving the potential center to the aqueous bulk at a rate of 0.001 nm/ps. The configurations obtained by this simulation were used for initial configurations in the following umbrella sampling simulations. The distance, D, between the representative cation and muscovite surface oxygen plane was selected as a reaction coordinate. Then, 55 window calculations (3.1 ns for equilibration + 3.0 ns for production) with a harmonic potential (kh = 4000 kJ/mol nm2) were implemented from D = 0.115 nm with a 0.025-nm interval as a standard case. We assigned initial velocities of atoms with random number after energy minimization of the initial configurations when we started a calculation at each window. Therefore, the

calculations are independent for each window. We determined that ill-sampling could occur with this setting for some cations because of bumpy PMFs, as described later. We refined the windows with a steeper harmonic potential in the ill-sampling region. Since overlapping of umbrella histograms of a reaction coordinate from each window is more critical than simulation time,45,46 we have confirmed that at least 3 or 4 histograms cover a certain value of the reaction coordinate (D) of interest (Figure S1). The parameters of the windows used to generate PMFs in this study are summarized in Tables S1 and S2 in the supporting information. The errors in the original data were estimated by standard deviation of bootstrap samples.47 The harmonic potentials used in the calculation only worked normal to the muscovite surface. Thus, the representative cation can freely move tangentially to the muscovite surface. In contrast to the representative cations, the other cations were constrained at their initial positions by threedimensional harmonic potentials (kh = 4000 kJ/mol nm2). Although the constraints might affect the PMFs, they make our system well-defined during the entire simulation procedure to allow a fair comparison among the eight cations. Without the constraints, a few non-representative cations are desorbed from the muscovite surface (e.g., Na+). This small fraction of the occasionally desorbed cations would require a significantly longer simulation time and deteriorate the fair comparison among the cations. We confirmed that the non-representative cations with the constraints remained at the same position calculated by the MD simulations without constraints (Figure S2). Therefore, we benefited from the application of the constraints because the artifacts from the constraints on the interfacial structure near the representative cation were considered sufficiently small in our calculations. To generate the PMF, the weighted histogram analysis method was implemented.48,49

We used GROMACS 4.5.650 for the MD simulations. The force fields for the muscovite, monovalent cations, divalent cations, and water were CLAYFF,51 the Joung and Cheatham model,52 the Åqvist model,53 and SPC/E,54, respectively. The models of ions accurately represent the hydration Gibbs energy52,53 and solubility of salts.55 The Lennard–Jones (LJ) parameters for unlike atoms were determined using the Lorentz–Berthelot rule. The cut-off radius was 1.0 nm for both the LJ and Coulombic potential. The long-range interaction for the Coulombic potential was treated using the smooth-particle Ewald summation method.56 All the calculations were implemented with the NpT ensemble, where temperature and pressure were controlled to be ambient conditions (298 K and 1 bar) by the Nose–Hoover thermostat (τT = 2.0 ps)57,58 and Parrinello–Rahman barostat (τp = 5.0 ps),59 respectively. Anisotropic scaling without shear deformation was set for the barostat. Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software was used for visualizations of snapshots from the simulations.60 Results and Discussion Adsorption states of cations at muscovite surface Figure 2 represents the PMFs as a function of the distance (D) between the representative cation and muscovite surface for the monovalent cations (a) and divalent cations (b). Figure 2 clearly reveals that the PMFs have a few minimum points at the muscovite surface and that the minimum points depend on the type of cations. This finding demonstrates that different cations have different adsorption states and affinities at the muscovite surface.

Starting from differences among the monovalent cations (Figure 2a), Na+ has distinctive features; that is, Na+ has three minimum points (two points near D = 0.2 nm and one point near D = 0.5 nm in Figure 2a), whereas the other monovalent cations have two points (near D = 0.2 nm and D = 0.5 nm in Figure 2a). This finding demonstrates that Na+ can form three distinct

adsorption states, whereas the others can form two distinct adsorption states. We calculated the radial distribution function (RDF) and coordination number for the adsorption states (Figure S3). The coordination numbers of the water molecule in the states near the first and second nearest minimum points in the PMF (Figure 2a) are approximately 2 and 4, respectively (the red and green broken line in the left panel in Figure S3 (a)). These values are less than the coordination number of water for Na+ in bulk aqueous solution (4.9 from a recent neutron diffraction study61 and 5 to 7 from molecular simulations62-72). In contrast, the coordination number of the water molecule in the state near the third nearest minimum point (nw = 5.9) is similar to that in bulk aqueous solution. Here, we determined that the third nearest minimum point corresponds to the outer-sphere surface complex and that the other minimum points correspond to inner-sphere surface complexes. When we examined the nearest neighbor numbers of Al around Na+ in the three states (the right panel in Figure S3 (a)), two Al were around Na+ in the state near the first nearest minimum point (red broken line), one Al was around Na+ in the state near the second nearest minimum point (green broken line), and no Al was around Na+ in the state near the third nearest minimum point (blue broken line). The two Al around Na+ indicates that Na+ is adsorbed in a Si4Al2 ditrigonal cavity site, and one Al around Na+ indicates that Na+ is adsorbed on top of Al. In summary, we determined that there are three distinct adsorption states for Na+ at the muscovite surface: an inner-sphere surface complex in a ditrigonal cavity site (IS1), an innersphere surface complex at an Al site (IS2), and an outer-sphere surface complex (OS). In addition, the order of the water coordination number is IS1 < IS2 < OS. The same analysis for the other monovalent cations (Figure S3 (b) to (d)) revealed that the first and second nearest minimum points observed in the PMFs in Figure 2a correspond to an inner-sphere surface complex with two Al (IS1) and an outer-sphere surface complex (OS), respectively. In fact, the

result that Na+ forms more adsorption states at the muscovite surface than the other monovalent cations is consistent with the snapshot from the MD simulation presented by Ricci et al.21 The adsorption Gibbs energies obtained from the PMFs are summarized in Table 1. When we compare ∆GIS1 for the monovalent cations, we obtain an order of affinity of Na+ IS2 for Ca2+ and Ba2+, respectively) estimated by the Boltzmann factor. In summary, a three-dimensional unified picture of the cation structure in the Stern layer of the muscovite surface has been refined by the idea of IS1 and IS2 obtained from our simulations. Conclusion In this paper, we implemented MD simulations and PMF calculations to obtain a unified picture of the Stern layer of the muscovite cleavage (001) surface (hydration structure, cation heights from the muscovite surface, and state stability). The results obtained from eight different cations (Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+) indicate the presence of three different possible adsorption states: IS1, IS2, and OS. In addition, it is implied that the distribution and formation of each state are well correlated to the charge density of the cations. For the outersphere surface complexes, we determined that the hydration structure for the outer-sphere surface complexes was different for monovalent and divalent cations. This difference results in a height difference of the cations in the outer-sphere surface complexes. One of the key findings from this study, the idea of two different inner-sphere surface complexes, provides an
