“…Tremendous efforts have been devoted to ascertain the adsorption and decomposition mechanism of H 2 S on the surfaces of a myriad of metal catalysts, such as Fe [21][22][23][24][25], Cu [26][27][28], Pd [17,[29][30][31][32], Ge [33], Ru [34], Ni [31,35], Au [31,36], Ir [31], Ag [31,37], Pt [38], W [39], and Mo [40]. The dissociation of H 2 S on these surfaces was usually described as a facile process with low energy barrier.…”
