Abstract:
Hydrogen adsorption on Pt(111) has been actively studied using semilocal approximations within the density functional theory featuring simultaneous adsorption of hydrogen on multiple sites, i.e., fcc, atop, and hcp. Considering the accuracy needed to detail the feature, we revisit this problem with the help of higher level of theory, the adiabatic connection fluctuation dissipation theorem within the random phase approximation. Our simulation emphasizes important roles played by the equilibrium lattice parameter of the surface, mass of the hydrogen isotope, and hydrogen coverage. The insight acquired in this study provides a way to consistently interpret electrochemical and spectroscopic data.

Accuracy, limits, and approximation
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
