The understanding of the interaction of water with mineral surfaces is fundamental for the description of solid–liquid interface reactions such as adsorption and desorption of solutes in natural and industrial systems. First-principles calculations can aid in the understanding of these interactions at the molecular level, allowing to formulate mechanistic laws of reaction. In this work, the adsorption of water (H2O) on forsteritic olivine (Mg2SiO4) is studied on the stoichiometric (100) surface using density functional theory (DFT) based electronic structure calculations to predict stability and reactivity of this surface under atmospheric and hydrothermal conditions. The structure and the energetics were analyzed for H2O interacting at different reactive surface sites comprising magnesium, silicon, and oxygen atoms showing that H2O can be adsorbed molecularly, dissociatively, or in some combination of the two. Ab initio thermodynamics was employed to extend the first-principles DFT calculations at 0 K in...
