High-pressure hydrogenation of graphene : towards graphane by Poh, Hwee Ling, Šaněk, Filip, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…We present here a scalable method for the hydrogenation of graphene based on thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere under high pressure (60–150 bar) and temperature (200–500 °C). This method does not require a plasma source and is able to produce gram quantities of the material. …”
