Coadsorption is a key initial step in heterogeneous catalysis, which by bringing the reactants together at high coverage on the surface of the catalyst has a clear implication on the catalytic reaction activity. We show that when using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the choice of the exchange correlation functional can have a qualitative influence on the nature of the obtained most stable coadsorption state. The coadsorption of butadiene and hydrogen, the precursor state for catalytic hydrogenation, is studied on Pt(111) and on the surface alloy Pt2Sn/Pt(111). At typical hydrogenation conditions, the PBE exchange correlation functional gives as most stable situation on both model catalysts a surface fully covered with hydrogen, butadiene remaining in gas phase. This behavior does not agree with available experimental data and results from an incorrect balance between H and butadiene adsorption energy, mainly by a poor description of dispersion energy for butadiene adsorption. The nonlocal o...
