First-Principles Modeling of Direct versus Oxygen-Assisted Water Dissociation on Fe(100) Surfaces

The O–H bond breaking in H2O molecules on metal surfaces covered with pre-adsorbed oxygen atoms is an important topic in heterogeneous catalysis. The adsorption configurations of H2O and relevant dissociation species on clean and O-pre-adsorbed Fe(100) surfaces were investigated by density functiona...
