The interactions of a hydrogen atom with clean, vacancied, and transition metal-doped (TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, Au, Pt) Mg(0001) surfaces are investigated using first-principles calculations. The H adsorption on Mg(0001) with TMs doped within the second layer is generally more stable than that on clean Mg but clearly weaker than that on Mg surfaces with TM in the first layer. We find, however, that all these TM atoms prefer to substitute for the Mg atoms in the second layer rather than for those in the outermost layer of the Mg surface. To enhance the catalytic effect of the TM dopants, we investigated various co-doping conditions of TMs, and we found that i) Ti is a good assistant that stabilizes co-doped Co, Ni, Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au within the first layers and that Ni and Co are more easily incorporated into the first layer of a Mg surface when co-doped with Ti, V, and Nb. These observations may lead to a possible approach to stabilize the TM dopants within the first layer and thus promote the hydrogenation of Mg accordingly.
