Moiré-Induced Enhanced Hydrogen Adsorption on Graphene

Tailoring the adsorption properties of 2D materials for targeted chemical processes is a central challenge in surface science. In particular, modulating hydrogen binding on graphene has strong relevance for catalysis and energy applications. In this study, we investigate hydrogen chemisorption across ten distinct moiré superstructures formed by graphene on various…

Electron-stimulated desorption kinetics of ultra-thin LiCl films on graphene

Although ultra-thin alkali halide films are widely employed substrates due to their insulating behavior, their structural stability upon electron and photon beam exposure is not fully understood. In this study, we focus on the evolution of the LiCl thin film structure on graphene through low-energy electron irradiation. We observe desorption…

Development of a Graphene SG-FET aptasensor able to detect attomolar concentrations of hepatitis C virus core protein

Biosensors based on graphene field-effect transistors have become a promising tool for detecting a broad range of analytes. However, they lack the stability and reproducibility required to step into biotechnological and biomedical applications. ESISNA group has used a promising physical graphene functionalization protocol which allows atomically-precise highly-controlled covalent functionalization, preserving…
