Here we present a first mechanistic study of water adsorption, dissociation, and diffusion on the most stable RuO2 surface, rutile RuO2(110). Variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ab initio molecular dynamics based density functional theory calculations (DFT) are employed to follow the behavior of small water clusters.
