[Pw_forum] Pseudo potentials for hybrid DFT

Dear QuantumEspresso Community,

I am interested in calculating organic molecules using hybrid DFT
functionals like PBE0 or B3LYP. Therefore I searching pseudo potentials
mainly for the elements H, C, O, N, S, Cl, Br, and I. In the database of
QuantumEspresso I don't have found a consistent PP set for all these
elements. So, what is the best way to select pseudo potentials? Is it
important that pseudo potentials matches to the DFT functional?

Thank yo in advance,

Sincerely,
