10. Optimized normconserving pseudopotentials and 2 × 2 × 1 k-point sampling in the 2 × 2 surface Brillouin zone were used. Convergence checks for the cutoff energy (up to 650 eV), other GGA functionals (PBE) (Perdew, J. P.; Burke, K.; Ernzerhof, M. Phys. Rev. Lett. 1996, 77, 3865), a finer k-point sampling (4 × 4 × 1), and an increased number of slab layers (four) have been performed. It was found that the activation energy changed by less than 0.1 eV.
