The structure of a liquid water layer on Pt(111) has been studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on periodic density functional theory calculations. First the reliability of the chosen exchange-correlation function has been validated by considering water clusters, bulk ice structures, and bulk liquid water, confirming that the dispersion corrected RPBE-D3/zero functional is a suitable choice. The simulations at room temperature yield that a water layer that is six layers thick is sufficient to yield liquid water properties in the interior of the water film. Performing a statistical average along the trajectory, a mean work function of 5.01V is derived, giving a potential of zero charge of Pt(111) of 0.57V vs. standard hydrogen electrode, in good agreement with experiments. Therefore we propose the RPBE-D3/zero functional as the appropriate choice for first-principles calculations addressing electrochemical aqueous electrolyte/metal electrode interfaces.
