“…Especially, periodic DFT calculations with the slab model have been a powerful approach to study the adsorption and dissociation of small molecules on the metal surfaces. Much attention has been paid to ascertaining the adsorption and dehydrogenation mechanism of NH 3 on numerous metal surfaces, such as Fe [11,12], Co [12], Ni [13][14][15][16], Ir [5,[17][18][19][20][21][22], Cu [23,24], Pd [25][26][27], Pt [28][29][30][31][32], Au [33]. Most of these works were based on density functional theory (DFT) http calculations.…”
