where the adsorption energy, ∆E AHx M 1 , of a species, AH x , on a reference metal, M 1, is used to estimate the adsorption energy, ∆E AHx M 2 , of the same species on another metal, M 2, from the adsorption energies, ∆E A , of atom A on each metal. These relations hold true for not only fully hydrogenated atoms, but also for larger hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, amines, and others on nitride, sulfide, oxide, transition metal, and select alloy surfaces. Typically, models assume the metric of choice (e.g. TOF) is governed by a single reaction for all binding energies and that the structure of the mechanism is static. The implementation of linear scaling in RMG allows for this presumption to be challenged, as each kinetic model is generated independently for each metal surface. This tool will be paramount in the expedient, high-throughput screening of catalysts for any surface-catalyzed chemical system.
