This letter focuses on a possible pitfall that can occur in the DFT calculation of graphite-hydrogen interactions under tokamaks conditions. Calculations based on the BLYP functional, in fact, result in a stable -C2H3 group that other functionals (OLYP, XLYP, PBE and BP) do not confirm. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
