Dear Abhishek, Mudhulika,

If you're interested in doing free-energy calculations of adsorption from
water on graphene, you might want to have a look at our paper:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5b03592

We've also written a tutorial based on this:
http://jeffcomer.us/tutorials.html

It might be possible to use the same approach on other surfaces, but you
need to find a good force field. We've used a silver force field created by
the Walsh group: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.5b03601
