Abstract: The Cluster-Continuum model was employed to calculate the solvation free energy of VO2+,VO2+ ions in aqueous solution.The number of water molecules on the first solvation shell of VO2+,VO2+ ions was predicted to be 3 and 5 respectively with density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP level.With the calculated values,the standard electrode potential of VO2+/VO2+ was computed to be 1.29 V,which was close to the theoretical value.The results showed that the Cluster-Continuum model was capable to simulate the solvation effects of VO2+,VO2+ ions.

摘要: 利用Cluster-Continuum模型,通过B3LYP方法计算出VO2+/VO2+电对的第一溶剂化层的水分子数分别为3和5个,并得到了水溶液中VO2+、VO2+离子的溶剂化自由能。利用此计算数值并通过热力学计算推算出VO2+/VO2+电对的标准反应电势为1.29 V,与理论值相差不大。这表明利用Cluster-Continuum模型可以较为准确地描述VO2+、VO2+离子的溶剂化作用。
