摘要

First-principles calculations were conducted to systematically investigate the adsorption characteristics of water molecules at various high-symmetry sites on the (110) surface of the B2-NiTi alloy. Comparison of adsorption energies and geometric parameters after complete optimization identified the most stable configuration: the water molecule adsorbed near the Ti-top site in a nearly parallel orientation. Further analysis indicated that the adsorption stability arises from two primary structural factors: the effective contact area between the water molecule and surface atoms, and the match between the molecular dipole and the local surface environment. This study provides a clear structure-energy perspective for geometrically explaining the site-selective adsorption of water on intermetallic compound surfaces.
