▎ 摘  要

We have developed a novel method for crystalline hydrogenation of graphene on the nanoscale. Molecular hydrogen was physisorbed at 5 K onto pristine graphene islands grown on Cu(111) in ultrahigh vacuum. Field emission local to the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope dissociates H-2 and results in hydrogenated graphene. At lower coverage, isolated point defects are found on the graphene and are attributed to chemisorbed H on top and bottom surfaces. Repeated H2 exposure and field emission yielded patches and then complete coverage of a crystalline root 3 x root 3 R30 degrees phase, as well as less densely packed 3 x 3 and 4 x 4 structures. The hydrogenation can be reversed by imaging with higher bias voltage. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
