HClO4* is most likely to dissociate into ClO4* on Pt(111) surface, leading to an adlayer of ClO4* co-adsorbed with H3O* and H2O* molecules. The stability of this ClO4* co-adsorbed adlayer is almost equal to that of a H2O* + H3O* bilayer. This competition would prohibit the formation of periodic ClO4* + H2O* + H3O* adlayer, yielding a weak adsorption of ClO4* in electrochemical condition as the experiments found. The electrostatic potential along the direction that is perpendicular to the substrate exhibits distinguishable peaks for the different interfacial structures.
