▎ 摘  要

Different technological approaches for creating graphene quantum dots by the adsorption of hydrogen atoms are considered. The adsorption can occur both at convex portions of a distorted graphene nanoribbon and in the structure formed by two distorted graphene nanoribbon rows superimposed on each other at the places free from the ribbon crossings. It is shown that settlement of hydrogen atoms at convex portions of the nanoribbons is energetically favorable. This gives rise to the creation of insulating graphane (CH) nanodomains separating the conducting regions. As a result, a graphene quantum dot appears. The variation of the electron spectra of graphene quantum dots with the length of these graphane regions is discussed.
