44. The attempt to close the octahedron of 4-fold coordinated surface Ti atoms with two hydrogens (H) failed, as these H pairs tended to detach from the NC and go together during the relaxation process, thus we discarded this possibility.
45. We also neglected hydrogens bonded to the twofold-coordinated bridging oxygens of [001] surfaces as to ensure the stoichiometry of hydration sphere.

54. In bulk TiO2, Ti is in the formal oxidation state 4+ and sixfold coordinate, resulting in a donation of 2/3 electrons per bond. In this way the hydrogen coverage is not a true passivation, as it results in the reduction of Ti instead of an ideally expected oxidation.
