Using computational methods, we elucidate the role of hydrogen and key intermediates involved in low temperature NO reduction by H2 on Pt catalysts.  The drastic effect of surface coverage is illustrated, making a strong case for consideration of the relevant coverage when using theoretical tools to study heterogeneously catalyzed reactions.
