Related prior question about norm-conserving potentials. Hopefully someone more informed on pseudopotenials can give a more descriptive answer. However if I'm understanding the question correctly, I t …

Why are Norm-conserving Pseudopotentials considered so important?

I think the best place to start is the original paper¹ proposing norm conserving pseudopotentials (NCPPs). It's very short and gives a nice explanation of why they were developed. … Matching the electrostatic potential makes these pseudopotentials more physically consistent and thus transferable. …
