A Computer Modeling Study of Perfect and Defective Silver (111) Surfaces

Challenges for density functional theory: calculation of CO adsorption on electrocatalytically relevant metals

We assess four DFT functionals, RTPSS, RPBE, SCAN and B97M-rV, for surface interactions. We find that B97M-rV predicts the correct site preference for CO binding on Ag and Au while RTPSS performs well for surface relaxations and binding of CO on Pt and Cu.

Density functional theory calculations of the hydrazine decomposition mechanism on the planar and stepped Cu(111) surfaces

DFT calculations are used to investigate the reactivity and the decomposition mechanism of N₂H₄ on the terraces and steps of Cu(111) surfaces.
