Abstract The adsorption of H 2 S, HS, S, H and the dissociation of H 2 S on the Ni 2 Pb/Ni (1 1 1) are systematically studied using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. It is found that H 2 S dissociation barriers are greatly increased by alloying with Pb atoms in the Ni(1 1 1) surface, while the barrier for H 2 S formation is greatly reduced. In addition, the adsorption of sulfur atom is weakened a lot. The results indicate that alloying with Pb may be a good way to increase the sulfur tolerance of Ni based anode catalysts of solid oxide fuel cells.
