Molecular dynamics simulations of metal-electrolyte interfaces under potential control

The interfaces between metal electrodes and liquid electro-lytes are prototypical in electrochemistry. That is why it is crucial to have a molecular and dynamical understating of such interfaces for both electrical properties and chemical re-activities under potential control. In this short review, we will categorize different schemes for modeling electrified metal-electrolyte interfaces used in molecular dynamics simulations. Our focus is on the similarities between seemingly different methods and their conceptual connections in terms of relevant electrochemical quantities. Therefore, it can be used as a guideline for developing new methods and building modular-ized computational protocols for simulating electrified interfaces.
