Schematic of the reaction pathways for glycerol decomposition on the Mo sites of the Cu/Mo2C (0001) catalyst model. The activation barriers (in eV) of the elementary reactions are shown next to the arrows, and the numbers shown in parentheses are the energies of the intermediates relative to gas-phase glycerol and the initial catalyst model. * represents an undercoordinated atom and the most favorable pathway is shown in green
