Abstract

First-principles modeling of reactive materials offers a means of developing molecular- level understanding of adsorption processes. Geochemical surface science is in need of conceptual understanding of what substrate properties govern reactivity. Here, we review and expand upon some of our density functional theory modeling studies of ion adsorption on giant polyaluminum cation species. Where appropriate, we relate our findings to experimental information, and aim to generalize our results to enable future predictions.
