Interaction of H2O with the platinum Pt (001), (011) and (111) surfaces: a density functional theory study with long-range dispersion corrections - data

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used with long-range dispersion corrections to study the interaction of H₂O with Pt (001), (011), and (111) surfaces. Platinum is a noble metal that is widely used for the electro-catalytic production of H₂, which surface reactivity towards H₂O is not yet fully understood. The work involved studying the surface energies of the mayor Pt surfaces, adsorption energy for H₂O on the surfaces, the thermodynamic effect of H₂O on Pt and the changes in Pt. The data described here are ASCII files containing the data for the atomic charges and displacements for the pristine surfaces, as well as the H₂O adsorbed surfaces. Calculations were carried out using the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP).
