Recently, Zhang and Ashtagiri reported the inadequacy of such solvent correction methods even after combining with implicit modeling compatible for determining the ORR activity correctly. 34 studies have spotted a water bilayer-a hexagonal hydrogen-bonded network with water molecules oriented in two different planes. This has given rise to the well-known 'bilayer (BL) model' comprising hydrogen-bonded ice-like hexagonal networks of water forming a periodic array over the surface, which has been employed for the theoretical simulations of the electrode-electrolyte interface of Pt (111) surface. Though some other networks which consist of water pentagons, heptagons have also been experimentally identified, the bilayer model is a more standardized approach and primarily used in understanding the explicit solvation effects for ORR. In our study, we employ a hybrid model, i.e., a combination of an explicit model with water bilayer and an implicit model with a continuous dielectric medium for the ORR simulation (Scheme 1).
