We have carried out a systematic study of the adsorption and selective reduction of CO2 on the Fe3S4{111} surface. We have considered both formate and hydrocarboxyl key intermediates leading to different reaction pathways via Eley-Rideal and Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanisms and we have built a kinetic model considering the wide range of intermediates in the reaction network. Our results show that the mechanism to produce formic acid takes place via a formate intermediate mostly on FeA sites, while methanol is formed via hydrocarboxyl intermediates on FeB sites. From the kinetic model we have derived a reaction constant comparison and determined the limiting step rates. The data comprises energies (in eV) of all reactants, intermediaries and transition states. Results based upon these data are published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c5fd00186b
