Solvent plays an important role in liquid phase heterogeneous catalysis; however, methods for calculating the free energies of catalytic phenomena at the solid–liquid interface are not well-established. For example, solvent molecules alter the energies of catalytic species and participate in catalytic reactions and can thus significantly influence catalytic performance. In this work, we begin to establish methods for calculating the free energies of such phenomena, specifically, by employing an explicit solvation method using a multiscale sampling (MSS) approach. This MSS approach combines classical molecular dynamics with density functional theory. We use it to calculate the free energies of solvation of catalytic species, specifically adsorbed NH*, NH2*, CO*, COH*, CH2OH*, and C3H7O3* on Pt(111) surfaces under aqueous phase and under a mixed H2O/CH3OH solvent. We compare our calculated values with analogous values from implicit solvation for validation and to identify situations where implicit solvation is sufficient versus where explicit solvent is needed to compute adsorbate free energies. Our results indicate that explicit quantum-based methods are needed when adsorbates form chemical bonds and/or strong hydrogen bonds with H2O solvent. Using MSS, we further separate the calculated free energies into energetic and entropic contributions in order to understand how each influences the free energy. We find that adsorbates that exhibit strong energies also exhibit strong and negative entropies, and we attribute this relationship to hydrogen bonding between the adsorbates and the solvent molecules, which provides a large energetic contribution but reduces the overall mobility of the solvent.
