In this work, we present binding energies of acetic acid on the (110), (100), and (011) surfaces of rutile TiO2 calculated with the two density functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation functionals PBE and PBEsol. It is shown that the binding energies can be influenced, in this case slightly reduced for all three surfaces, via preadsorption of hydrogen. Additionally, we tested the performance of the density-functional based tight-binding (DFTB) method applied to these adsorbate systems. Analysis of the electronic density of states shows that DFTB provides qualitatively comparable results to DFT calculations as long as the Fermi energy level remains within the band gap.
