description Tungsten carbide (WC) displays a Pt‐like behavior in catalysis, applied in hydrogenation processes. Numerous theoretical studies have modeled the behavior and use of adsorbed hydrogen without obtaining a general picture, missing basic links between H2 dissociation and generation of high surface coverage (ΘH>0.5 ML). Here, the capability of C‐ and W‐terminations of the α‐WC(0001) surface is analyzed to dissociate several H2 molecules to produce coverages, ΘH, ranging from low to very high values (0.13

The H‐adatoms on WC−W are more labile than on WC−C. The binding of adsorbates is hindered at high ΘH, implying a need to modulate ΘH according to the application. The results give the basis to understand the capabilities of WC‐based catalysts in hydrogenation‐related reactions, with the advantage of WC being a hydrogen reservoir at mild practical catalytic conditions. H2 molecules dissociate on α‐WC(0001) surfaces with C‐ and W‐termination to achieve several hydrogen coverages, from low to high. The number of H‐adatoms on the surfaces depends upon pressure and temperature conditions.
