This can be structurally resolved to the occurrence of (disordered patterns of) five-, six-, or seven-membered rings. However, due to the dynamics and thermal fluctuations, no ideal hexagonal hydrogen-bonded network can be observed. The effect of the charged platinum electrode onto the water's entropy lasts up to a distance of 15-20 Å, then the entropy fluctuates around the bulk value of S H 2 O, bulk . This observation is however dependent on the potential: From 0.1-0.5 V, the entropy reducing range of the Pt surface is increasing. The simultaneously growing proportion of H-up configurations of H 2 O * enables the formation of hydrogen bonds between the layer of adsorbed water molecules and the subsequent wetting layers. In contrast, under surface oxidation potential conditions the water's entropy regains its bulk value directly after the layer of adsorbed water (S H 2 O * , 0.95 V = 34.73 J/molK). Here, the dominating H-down configuration induces hydrophobicity, as hydrogen bonding within the H 2 O * layer is encouraged while less hydrogen bonds are donated to the surrounding bulk water. This can be also interpreted from Meanwhile, an increasing occurrence of H 2 O parallel or H-up configurations comprises the network and reduces the extent of layering in z direction. In the surface oxidation potential region, due to the presence of oxygenated intermediates, the water layer is less homogeneous reflected by a less prominent adjacent depleted region and a more disconnected hydrogen bond network.
