Tracking the Hydrogen Motion in Defective Graphene

This gallery contains 1 photo.

Bulk defective graphene produced by thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide was treated under H2 and investigated with X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, neutron spectroscopy, and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance. Graphene defects appear effective in dissociating H2 molecule and in promoting H … Continue reading

Decoration of graphene with nickel nanoparticles: study of the interaction with hydrogen

This gallery contains 1 photo.

Graphene obtained from thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide was chemically functionalized with nickel nanoparticles (NPs) without exposing the system to oxidizing agents. Its structural, physical and chemical properties have been studied by means of TEM, X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopies, … Continue reading

Muons Probe Strong Hydrogen Interactions with Defective Graphene

We present the first muon spectroscopy investigation of graphene, focused on chemically produced, gram-scale samples, appropriate to the large muon penetration depth. We have observed an evident muon spin precession, usually the fingerprint of magnetic order, but here demonstrated to … Continue reading
