The hydrogen adsorption energetics on the surface of inorganic compounds can be used to predict electrolyte stability in Li-ion batteries and catalytic activity for selective oxidation of small molecules such as H₂ and CH₄. Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT), the hydrogen adsorption was found to be unfavorable on high-band-gap insulators, which could be attributed to a lower energy level associated with adsorbed hydrogen relative to the bottom of the conduction band. In contrast, the hydrogen adsorption was shown to be the most favorable on metallic and semiconducting compounds, which results from an electron transfer from adsorbed hydrogen to the Fermi level or the bottom of the conduction band. Of significance, computed hydrogen adsorption energetics on insulating, semiconducting, and metallic oxides; phosphates; fluorides; and sulfides were decreased by lowering the ligand p band center, while the energy penalty for ligand vacancy formation was increased, indicative of decreased surface reducibility. A statistical regression analysis, where 16 structural and electronic parameters such as metal–ligand distance, electronegativity difference, Bader charges, bulk and surface metal and ligand band centers, band gap, ligand band width, and work function were examined, further showed that the surface ligand p band center is the most accurate single descriptor that governs the hydrogen adsorption tendency, and additional considerations of the band gap and average metal–ligand distance further reconcile the differences among compounds with different ligands/structures, whose ligand bands are different in shape and width. We discuss the implications of these findings for passivating coatings and design of catalysts and the need for novel theoretical methods to accurately estimate these quantities from first principles. Furthermore, these results establish a universal design principle for future high-throughput studies aiming to design electrode surfaces to minimize electrolyte oxidation by dehydrogenation in Li-ion batteries and enhance the H–H and C–H activation for selective oxidation catalysis.
