Molecular and dissociative adsorption of hydrogen at PdN clusters (N=1

13) supported on AlOOH and ZrO2 were investigated using density functional theory. Effects of cluster size and carrier were assessed through study of hydrogen adsorption energies and electron transfers among carrier
PdN cluster and adsorbed hydrogen. Molecular adsorption occurred preferentially at atop sites of the supported PdN clusters while dissociative adsorption favored face sites. With the increase of cluster size
both molecular and dissociative adsorption energies decreased as well as both amount and direction of electron transfer among carrier
PdN clusters and adsorbed hydrogen altered. The molecular and dissociative adsorption energies on ZrO2 supported PdN clusters were higher than those on AlOOH supported PdN clusters
indicating that carrier was also important to hydrogen adsorption.
