I've attached two input files I used to compute the total energy of Oxygen molecule and of isolated Oxygen atom, just do the difference to get the binding energy. You'll need to suit it to your case, in particular choose a pseudopotential and test convergence.
Be warned that Quantum-ESPRESSO is not photoshop, i.e. you cannot just play around with parameters until you get something you like. You should understand the meaning of every variable in the input in order to learn something new.
