<div>Cerium suboxide clusters have been shown to react with water to yield H<sub>2</sub>. Since reactions of metal oxides with water are of great fundamental and practical importance in energy science, detailed study of this reaction can provide new key knowledge for future catalyst design. Using density function theory calculations, we identified and report complete reaction pathways for two spin-states of Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sup>–</sup> reacting with H<sub>2</sub>O. Additionally, examining the molecular orbitals of initial and final cerium oxide clusters, we found that metal d electrons facilitate the reduction of water. This work provides new understanding of this reaction and insights to the reactivity enhancements for cerium-doped surfaces.</div>
