Spectroscopic Studies on hydrogenated ball milled graphite on TOSCA

DOI

Despite the large research effort that has been made, the microscopic processes of hydrogen chemisorption on graphite is not well understood. By ball milling graphite for a variety of different time periods under an atmosphere of hydrogen we have been able to assess the chemisorption of hydrogen as a function of milling time. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy resolves two distinct paramagnetic components, the first is assigned to (intrinsic) delocalized π-electrons in the graphene sheets and the second to localized electrons. We request 3 days on TOSCA in order to further investigate the nature and structure of the hydrogen sorption on graphite as a function of milling time. The high neutron flux of the TOSCA diffractometer will enable us to understand the ratio of CH, CH2 and CH3 groups as a function of milling time and the effect of iron on the hydrogen sorption.
