30. In order to test the validity of our slab model before predicting sulfur tolerance for Ni(1 1 1) and Cu(1 1 1) surfaces, we carried out the calculations of hydrogen adsorption on Ni(1 1 1) surface. The estimated adsorption energies on the four different active sites, i.e., top, bridge, hcp hollow, and fcc hollow, are in close agreement with those calculated by Watson et al. [29].
