After a comprehensive review of the various methods to compute workfunctions in solvent, we presented our (solvated) workfunctions for the clean Pt(111) surface and with explicit adsorbates. We found that the CANDLE model is able to capture expected trends and provides reasonable results for the workfunction of the clean Pt(111) surface. Moreover, it predicts changes in workfunction upon explicit adsorption, as evidenced by comparison with results from an AIMD study. However, the model does not predict variation of workfunctions due to changes in electrolyte concentration. We find that the RISM (SPC) model underestimates the workfunction of the clean Pt(111) surface and fails to capture the expected trends due to explicit adsorbates and electrolyte concentration, predicting only minimal variations.
