Calculations were carried out using DFT Perdew–Wang 1991 (PW91)  exchange-correlation functional implemented in the plane-wave based code VASP . The electron–core interaction is described with the projector-augmented plane-wave (PAW) method. A plane-wave basis set with a kinetic energy cutoff of 400 eV was used. Test calculations on water adsorption at Cu(1 1 1) surface with a 500 eV cutoff produced the same adsorption energy and the almost unchanged geometry of water (Only the bond angle HOH differs by 0.2°.). Convergence criteria of 10E-5 eV for the self-consistent electronic minimization and 10E-4 eV for the total energy change between two consecutive ionic steps were adopted.

A Monkhorst–Pack mesh [60] of (5 · 5 · 1) was used for integration over the Brillouin zone for the (1 1 1), (1 0 0), (1 1 0) and (2 1 1) surfaces.

你的INCAR里有些参数彼时必须的，譬如ISPIN、LORBIT.......
你的截断能太高了，浪费时间，那篇文章截断能最多400 eV.....
另外，注意一下你水分子的能量是怎么算的，是否放在一个大盒子里，取gama点计算得到..... ...
