In the “Adsorption” column, C and P stand for chemisorption and physisorption, respectively (a chemisorbed hydrogen molecule involves its dissociation). In the “Doping/site” column, H, T, and B indicate adsorption on a Hollow, Top, and Bridge site, respectively. Blank spaces in the column of binding energies and/or equilibrium distances indicate the missing of the corresponding values in the original paper. Further details are referred in the cited articles.
