These three metal catalysts exhibit several similar phenomena：（i） they prefer to deposit on the tetra（_4-dihydroxyborylphenyl） silane（TBPS） cluster with surface-contacted configuration;（ii） only the H atoms at the bridge site can migrate to 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxy triphenylene（HHTP） and TBPS surfaces, and the migration process is an endothermic reaction and not stable;（iii） the introduction of M_4 catalyst can greatly reduce the diffusion energy barrier of H atoms, which makes it easier for the H atoms to diffuse on the substrate surface. Differently, all of the H2 molecules spontaneously dissociate into H atoms onto Pt_4 and Pd_4clusters. However, the adsorbed H2 molecules on Ni_4 cluster show two types of adsorption states： one activated state with stretched H–H bond length of 0.88 ？A via the Kubas interaction and five dissociated states with separated hydrogen atoms. Among all the M_4 catalysts, the orders of the binding energy of M_4 deposited on the substrate and average chemisorption energy per H2 molecule are Pt_4〉Ni_4〉Pd_4. On the contrary, the orders of the migration and diffusion barriers of H atoms are Pt_4展开更多
