摘要

En 中文
We present a simulation method that allows us to calculate the titration curves for systems undergoing protonation/deprotonation reactions-such as charged colloidal suspensions with acidic/basic surface groups, polyelectrolytes, polyampholytes, and proteins. The new approach allows us to simultaneously obtain titration curves both for systems in contact with salt and acid reservoir (semi-grand canonical ensemble) and for isolated suspensions (canonical ensemble). To treat the electrostatic interactions, we present a new method based on Ewald summation-which accounts for the existence of both Bethe and Donnan potentials within the simulation cell. We show that the Donnan potential dramatically affects the pH of a suspension. Counterintuitively, we find that in suspensions with a large volume fraction of nanoparticles and low ionic strength, the number of deprotonated groups can be 100% larger in an isolated system, compared to a system connected to a reservoir by a semi-permeable membrane-both systems being at exactly the same pH.
