Fig. 5. (a) Gibbs free energies of adsorption (373 K) of ethanol monomer and dimer species with 1–6 co-adsorbed H2O (n) calculated by AIMD, referenced to gas-phase ethanol molecules. Vertical dashed line indicates the locally stable pure-H2O cluster size Inline graphic. (b) Gibbs free energy of adsorption (373 K) for ethanol monomer and dimer species at H2O coverages corresponding to the local minima of (a) and compared to ethanol monomer and dimer adsorption in the gas phase. W(intra) refers to intrapore water at other pure H2O clusters and is calculated from the intensive Gibbs free energy of water within the Beta pore. (c) Representative geometries of the stable water cluster Inline graphic, ethanol monomer cluster Inline graphic, ethanol dimer cluster Inline graphic, and the ethanol–water dimer cluster formed by adsorption of one ethanol molecule at the stable monomer cluster Inline graphic.
