Drawing inspiration from the approaches the gas-phase community uses for aligning thermochemical states offers a promising route for standardizing approaches in the heterogeneous catalysis community. However, heterogeneous catalysis has distinct challenges, as outlined above. Errors in electronic structure methods for heterogeneous systems at the GGA-level are larger , and there is no clear hierarchy of methods that can be universally applied across different systems . Furthermore, the energies of adsorbates are intricately linked to the surface chemistry, making them highly dependent on the specific catalyst surface, adsorbate coverage, and reaction conditions . Given the intricate nature of heterogeneous catalysis, a more nuanced strategy is necessary to standardize methodologies, emphasizing the urgency and importance of this task.
