Graphene will be exploited in different morphologies, from growth of pristine supported single/few sheets graphene, to transferred graphene, to self-standing nano-porous graphene (NPG) [1], all prepared by the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. We will investigate the graphene response to electron transmission [2] in a wide energy range from a few eV up to about 20 keV electron energy, and we will load it with atomic hydrogen (chemically active as tritium) quantifying the H-carbon interaction.
We will make use of complementary experimental techniques, from transmission electron spectroscopy, to electrical [3] and Raman characterization, to x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies.
