Figure 1.
Influence of binding energies and reorganization energies on the reaction activation barriers of competing COOH* and HCOO* formations on (a) In(101), (b) Sn(100), (c) Au(111), and (d) Pt(111) surfaces at U = 0 V vs SHE. The structures in the lower solid circles show stable configurations located at the potential energy curve minimum. The structures in the upper dashed circles show the adjusted configurations the same as lower solid circles after solvent reorganization.
