Hi Augustin,

In this case, its important to use all-electron BS to CO2 (maybe to some Pt 
atoms underneath, in the future). 
Hence, I'll use GAPW with ALL potential as you recommended and promise be 
back here to tell how it changes the optimization overall.
Thank you very much by the hints. 

Best,
Ednilsom
