Interfacial non-Markovian friction determines non-linear spectral shifts at the water-graphene interface — •Johannes Schröter, Louis Lehmann, Shane Carlson, and Roland R. Netz — FU Berlin, Fachbereich Physik, Arnimallee 14 14195 Berlin

Understanding the behavior of aqueous interfaces is crucial for various applications. In particular, the graphene water interface plays a key role for energy storage and energy conversion, however, its properties remain poorly understood. Using DFT molecular dynamics simulations we show that the sum-frequency signal of non-hydrogen bonded OH bonds is significantly red-shifted at the water-graphene compared to the water-air interface, in agreement with recent experiments. The red shift is demonstrated to be caused by non-Markovian friction between the graphene surface and interfacial water, which offers a direct method to extract solid-water interfacial friction properties from non-linear spectroscopy.
