By performing first-principles molecular dynamics calculations, we systematically simulate the adsorption behavior of oxygen molecules on the clean and strained Pb(111) surfaces. The obtained molecular adsorption precursor state, and the activated dissociation process for oxygen molecules on the clean Pb surface are in good agreements with our previous static calculations, and perfectly explains previous experimental observations [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 104, 9204 (2007)]. In addition, we also study the influences of surface strain on the dissociation behaviors of O2 molecules. It is found that on the compressed Pb(111) surfaces with a strain value of larger than 0.02, O2 molecules will not dissociate at all. And on the stretched Pb(111) surfaces, O2 molecules become easier to approach, and the adsorption energy of the dissociated oxygen atoms is larger than that on the clean Pb surface.
