The mechanism of the CH4 decomposition on the nickel (111) surface is investigated by first principles calculations. The activation energy of each reaction is calculated using nudged elastic band method. The activation energy of hydrogen dissociation from a CH2 fragment is found much lower than the one of a CH3 fragment. This result is consistent with the fact, observed in our previous molecular dynamics...
