Nitric acid (HNO 3 ) is one of the main pollutants in the atmosphere and has an important effect on the air pollution. However, the formation pathways of HNO 3 are still poorly understood in the marine boundary layer (MBL). Here, we show evidence of the formation of HNO 3 from chlorine (Cl) radical and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), with 1–3 water molecules, as well as on the air-water interface, based on the direct Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) simulation. The relative free energy change along the reaction coordinates for the (Cl)(NO 2 )(H 2 O) 1 (monohydrate) system was calculated using thermodynamic integration, revealing that the monohydrate system exhibited no free energy barrier and was 26.5 kcal mol −1 exergonic. This suggests that the formation of HNO 3 from the monohydrate system is thermodynamically favorable. For all the systems studied, the formation of HNO 3 was directly observed using BOMD simulations, and only one water molecule participates in the reaction. However, loop structures, which were expected to be ubiquitous on the air-water interface, were not observed. This study identifies the importance of the reactions of Cl atom, NO 2 , and water molecules in the formation of HNO 3 in the MBL region. • The formation of HNO 3 in the marine boundary layer (MBL) were investigated. • The monohydrate system exhibited no free energy barrier and was exergonic 26.5 kcal mol −1 . • Only one water molecule is directly involved in the formation of HNO 3 .
