On the Way to Graphane—Pronounced Fluorescence of Polyhydrogenated Graphene

Chemistry meets graphane: A Birch-type reaction using frozen water as a gentle proton source causes the exfoliation of graphite and formation of hydrogenated graphene with electronically decoupled π-nanodomains. This highly functionalized graphene displays pronounced fluorescence. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors.
