Hydrogenation of Fluorographite and Fluorographene: An Easy Way to Produce Highly Hydrogenated Graphene

Fluorographene is an excellent precursor for the synthesis of graphene derivatives. Relative to pure graphene, fluorographene possesses higher reactivity and, in comparison with graphene oxide, is also homogenous in composition, which enables the preparation of well-defined materials. Recently, it has been shown that several graphene derivatives can be synthesized from fluorographene, thus yielding various products …

Planar Polyolefin Nanostripes: Perhydrogenated Graphene

Graphene hydrogenation gives an opportunity to introduce a band gap into the graphene electronic structure. Complete hydrogenation may lead to the graphane, a fully hydrogenated counterpart of graphene. However, pure graphane has not been successfully prepared to this day. Here, we show that hydrogenation of single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of Birch reduction leads to …

Biomarkers Detection on Hydrogenated Graphene Surfaces: Towards Applications of Graphane in Biosensing

Graphane, the hydrogenated form of graphene, is a material of significant interest. Here we compare properties of hydrogenated graphene and ordinary graphene used for electrochemical oxidation of important biomarkers, such as ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid.

Graphane electrochemistry: Electron transfer at hydrogenated graphenes

Graphane, the hydrogenated derivate of graphene is a highly novel material in the field of two dimensional nanocarbon related research. Preparation of hydrogenated graphene is achieved via a high-pressure/high-temperature (up to 150 bar and 500 degrees C) thermal exfoliation procedure of graphite oxide. We investigated the properties of the materials via voltammetry and electrochemical impedance …
