Methanol decomposition can undergo two possible reaction pathways, either through C-H bond breaking or C-O bond scission. Thus in this paper, we will focus on the following adsorption complexes: C, H, O, CH3, CH2O and CH3O. Periodic density functional slab models were used to investigate the adsorpt...
